EASY (AND TASTY) MEATLOAF
This is the meatloaf recipe my family has used my whole life. I love it! Of course, we have to double to whole recipe, using 2 to 3 pounds ground beef, the whole package of onion soup mix, and a 12 fluid ounce can of Carnation evaporated milk. This is good with baked potatoes and some Bush's baked beans. (or any other vegetables: corn, peas...) I hope you like it!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine meat, bread crumbs, onion, ketchup, eggs, and onion soup mix.
- Use your hands to squish all of the ingredients together until all of the ingredients are well combined.
- Form the meat mixture into two "loaves." At this point, I usually wrap one of the loaves in press and seal freezer wrap and toss it in the freezer. However, if you have a larger family, you'll probably want to cook both.
- Put the two loaves in a 13x9 baking pan and bake for 45 minutes.
- While the loaves are baking, mix up the sauce by stirring the ketchup, the brown sugar, and the mustard together until smooth. Set aside.
- After 45 minutes, take the meat loaves out and spread the sauce over the tops.
- Placed the sauced loaves back in the oven and bake for another 15 minutes or until cooked through.
- Let the meat loaves cool for 5 - 10 minutes before cutting them.
- Enjoy!
- P.S. To cook a frozen meatloaf, take the frozen meat loaf out the day before you want to cook it and let it thaw in the refrigerator. Cook as stated above.
- P.S.S. This meatloaf pairs wonderfully with my super yummy corn casserole!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil.
- Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Once the oil begins to shimmer, add the onion and cook, stirring often, until softened and golden brown, about 7 minutes.

Remove the pan from the heat and let the onion mixture cool to room temperature.

Tips:
- Use a combination of ground meats: This will give the meatloaf a more flavorful and juicy texture. Ground beef and pork are a classic combination, but you can also use ground turkey, lamb, or veal.
- Add some vegetables to the meatloaf: This will help to bulk it up and add some extra nutrients. Finely chopped onion, celery, and carrots are all good choices.
- Use a flavorful sauce: The sauce is what really makes the meatloaf sing. You can use a store-bought sauce or make your own. If you're making your own, be sure to use a variety of spices and herbs to give it a lot of flavor.
- Cook the meatloaf at a low temperature: This will help to keep it moist and juicy. 350 degrees Fahrenheit is a good target temperature.
- Let the meatloaf rest before slicing it: This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the meatloaf, making it easier to slice and serve.
Conclusion:
Meatloaf is a classic comfort food that is easy to make and loved by people of all ages. By following the tips above, you can make a delicious and flavorful meatloaf that your family and friends will love. So next time you're looking for a hearty and satisfying meal, give meatloaf a try!
