This recipe comes from the Luby's 50th Anniversary Cookbook. It suggests for a different meatloaf to tope it off with barbecue sauce. The leftovers make a good sandwich! I have not made this meat loaf in my kitchen, but I have eaten it at Luby's, and it is very good. The prep time is a guesstimate!

  • Add some vegetables to the meatloaf mixture. This will help to keep it moist and add some extra nutrients.
  • Don't overmix the meatloaf mixture. Overmixing can make the meatloaf tough.
  • Shape the meatloaf into a loaf shape and place it in a baking pan. You can also use a muffin tin to make individual meatloaves.
  • Bake the meatloaf at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about an hour, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the meatloaf rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will help to keep the juices in the meatloaf.
