Ingredients

1 1/2 lb ground beef
1 egg, slightly beaten
1/4-1/2 c finely chopped onion
1 tsp seasoning salt (mrs. dash's)
1 c small bread cubes
2 beef bouillon cubes, dissolved in 1 cup boiling water
dash(es) pepper
SAUCE
3 Tbsp brown sugar
1/2 c ketchup
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp dry mustard

Steps:

3. Shape into a loaf and put in loaf pan.
4. Rough the top of the meat with a fork and cover with the sauce ingredients which have been combined.
5. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour.

Tips:

Choose the right ground meat: A combination of ground beef and ground pork is a classic choice for meatloaf, but you can also use all beef, all pork, or a mixture of different meats, such as lamb or veal.
Season the meatloaf well: Use a generous amount of salt and pepper, as well as other spices and herbs, such as garlic, onion, paprika, and cumin.
Add moisture to the meatloaf: This can be done with eggs, milk, bread crumbs, or oatmeal.
Mix the meatloaf thoroughly: But don't overmix it, or the meatloaf will be tough.
Shape the meatloaf into a loaf: You can use a loaf pan or a free-form shape.
Bake the meatloaf at a high temperature initially: This will help to brown the meatloaf and keep it moist.
Reduce the temperature and continue baking: This will help to cook the meatloaf through without drying it out.
Let the meatloaf rest before slicing: This will help the meatloaf to hold its shape and make it easier to slice.
