Easy Recipe for a Meatloaf

I'm definitely not a Betty Crocker, but I try to cook sometimes. I mostly cook chicken, which my DH is sick of.

Does anyone have a good, but easy recipe for a Meatloaf.

TIA!

Brown Sugar Glazed Meatloaf

1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup ketchup
1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef
3/4 cup milk
2 eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 small onion, chopped
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
3/4 cup finely crushed saltine cracker crumbs (I used whole wheat breadcrumbs)

Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 5x9 inch loaf pan. In a mixing bowl, mix thoroughly all remaining ingredients and shape into a loaf. I mix the ketchup and meatloaf together and pour over the meatloaf.

Bake in preheated oven for 1 hour or until juices are clear.

Re: Easy Recipe for a Meatloaf

there is a super easy and good recipe on the back of the lipton onion soup packets. I make it sometimes and it is really good! I bake it with bbq sauce on top.

ETA: here is the recipe

Ingredients
1 Envelope Lipton Recipe Secrets Onion Soup Mix

2 lbs. Ground beef (or ground turkey)

3/4 cup Plain dry bread crumbs

2 Eggs

3/4 cup Water

1/3 cup Ketchup
Preparation
Preheat oven to 350 degrees


In large bowl, combine all ingredients


In 13 X 9 inch baking or roasting pan, shape into loaf (for best results, line pan with aluminum foil and use a non-stick cooking spray before adding meat loaf to pan)


Bake 1 hour or until done


Let stand 10 minutes

Re: Easy Recipe for a Meatloaf

Mine is a combo of the above recipes.

I use the Lipton onion soup mix, worcestershire, garlic, parm cheese, egg, breadcrumbs, onion powder and then top with the ketchup/brown sugar glaze.

Here's my Mom's Italian meatloaf...

1 lb. ground beef
1 egg
2/3 c. moistened seasoned breadcrumbs
3 heaping TBSP of parmesan or pecorino romano cheese

salt
pepper

Preheat oven to 350. Combine beef, egg, breadcrumbs, cheese, salt, pepper, and 1/2 the can of tomato sauce. Mold into a loaf or put into a loaf pan. pour remainder of the tomato sauce over the meatloaf and coat. Cover and bake for 40 minutes.

Re: Easy Recipe for a Meatloaf

I make this all the time bc it's healthy for my son too

-1 pound turkey chopmeat
-half a can of corn (niblets)
-Big hand full of fresh or frozen broccoli chopped into bits
-1 egg
-some breadcrumbs (handful)
-some pec romano cheese (heaping tablespoon)
-garlic powder to taste
-Salt and Pepper to taste

Mix all the ingredients together really well *I use my hands*and prepare into a loaf and bake in the oven at about 375 for and hour or so

I'm so bad with measurements and timing bc I judge everything myself but this is really easy and if you add a little more or less of something it can't really go wrong.

The cheese,boccoli and corn give this loaf great flavor together. I do a similar one with mushrooms and asparagus but the sweetness of the corn makes this one so much better
