This is the only meatloaf I ever liked! Seasoned with fresh onion,a touch of bell pepper, and glazed with a sweet ketchup sauce. For our small family, we cook one loaf and freeze the other to cook at a later time.

- Meanwhile, mix together the panko, buttermilk, ketchup, Worcestershire and eggs in a bowl. Add the parsley, salt, black pepper and cayenne and mix well. Once the veggies are cool, add them to the mixture and incorporate. Next add the ground beef and pork and mix thoroughly with your hands.

MAMA'S MEATLOAF
I discovered the basic recipe years ago, and improved on it over the years. My southern mother was horrified that it wasn't made with milk, but when she tasted it she agreed it was an exceptionally good recipe. It's a family favorite, and I'm asked to take it to picnics and pot lucks.

Steps:
- Some cooks put all ingredients into a loaf pan "raw", but I prefer to sauté the onions first to take the "bite" out of them.
- Drain and set aside to cool.
- Into a large bowl place the ground beef, bread crumbs, catsup, egg, Worcestershire sauce and parsley.
- Add the sautéed onions to this mixture.
- Wash your hands and delve into this mixture like a mad man, squish it between your fingers and mix it very well.
- Form a loaf in a baking dish, leaving at least 1-inch around the sides so fat can drain off.
- Bake at 350°F about 45 minutes or until done.
- Serve this delicious meatloaf as is or with my recipe for curry sauce.
Tips for Making the Best Meatloaf
- Use a combination of ground beef and ground pork for a moist and flavorful meatloaf.
- Soak the bread crumbs in milk before adding them to the meat mixture. This will help the meatloaf stay moist during baking.
- Add an egg or two to the meat mixture to help bind it together.
- Season the meatloaf generously with salt, pepper, and other desired spices.
- Shape the meatloaf into a loaf shape and place it in a baking dish.
- Bake the meatloaf at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 1 hour, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the center reads 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
