MOM'S FAVORITE MEATLOAF
I don't really like meatloaf at all, but when mom made this one, she really had a hit with the entire family! Not your typical meatloaf -- very tasty! Use fresh sausage, not frozen! Use more crackers if the loaf seems too moist before cooking. Excellent for sandwiches the next day!!

MOM'S MEATLOAF
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.

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.

BETTER THAN MOM'S MEATLOAF
My mom's classic meatloaf was lacking in flavor and the topping was way too sweet. This "better than mom's" version still has lots of old-school appeal but has been kicked up a notch with a rich and savory flavor, plus we said goodbye to the sugary sweet topping. Sliced meatloaf leftovers make the best sandwiches. I like mine with mustard, cheese, and grilled onions!
