Time 55m

Yield 4-5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 onion, minced
1/2-3/4 cup saltine crackers, crushed
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 egg, beaten
1/2 cup milk
1 lb ground beef

Steps:

  • Combine onion, saltine crackers, salt, pepper, egg and milk.

  • At this point, you can shape into loaves, wrap in plastic wrap, place in freezer bag and freeze for later use.
  • If using for meatballs, spread mixture out on plastic wrap in a flat square; put in freezer bag and freeze. I use defrost level in microwave to defrost 1 lb ground beef.
  • For meatloaf, we simply pour a layer of ketchup over the loaf and bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour at 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • For meatballs, shape into desired size; brown in fry pan with 1 tablespoon oil. Add meatballs to tomato/spaghetti sauce or chili sauce with grape jelly sauce.
  • Variation: Feel free to add garlic powder or minced garlic and/or Parmesan cheese.

When in a hurry, I substitute canned potatoes and green beans for the fresh. I like the fact that I can pop this meat loaf into the oven in the late afternoon and forget about it until dinnertime. -Florence Dollard, Grand Island, New York

  • Bake uncovered 50 to 60 minutes until meat and juices are no longer pink or until a meat thermometer inserted in the center of the loaf reads 160°F and center of loaf is no longer pink*. Let the loaf stand 5 minutes so it will be easier to remove from the pan. Remove loaf from pan and cut into slices.

Tips:

  • Choose the right ground beef: For the best flavor and texture, use a combination of ground chuck and ground sirloin.
  • Don't overmix the meatloaf mixture: Overmixing can make the meatloaf tough.
  • Use a variety of seasonings: A good meatloaf should have a balance of savory, sweet, and smoky flavors. Experiment with different combinations of herbs, spices, and sauces to find your perfect meatloaf recipe.
  • Cook the meatloaf at a low temperature: This will help to prevent the meatloaf from drying out.
  • Let the meatloaf rest before slicing: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meatloaf, making it more moist and flavorful.

Meatloaf is a classic comfort food that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It's a versatile dish that can be made with a variety of ingredients, so you can easily customize it to your own taste. With a little planning and effort, you can make a delicious meatloaf that your family and friends will love.
