Provided by Cat Loving Cook

Categories     Meat

Time 1h10m

Yield 2 meatloaves, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 lbs ground meat, I like to use a mix of ground turkey and ground beef
3/4 cup breadcrumbs, plain
1 medium onion, chopped fine
1/2 cup ketchup
2 eggs
3 tablespoons onion soup mix (one packet)
1/2 cup ketchup
3 tablespoons brown sugar
2 teaspoons mustard

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine meat, bread crumbs, onion, ketchup, eggs, and onion soup mix.
  • Use your hands to squish all of the ingredients together until all of the ingredients are well combined.
  • Form the meat mixture into two "loaves." At this point, I usually wrap one of the loaves in press and seal freezer wrap and toss it in the freezer. However, if you have a larger family, you'll probably want to cook both.
  • Put the two loaves in a 13x9 baking pan and bake for 45 minutes.
  • While the loaves are baking, mix up the sauce by stirring the ketchup, the brown sugar, and the mustard together until smooth. Set aside.
  • After 45 minutes, take the meat loaves out and spread the sauce over the tops.
  • Placed the sauced loaves back in the oven and bake for another 15 minutes or until cooked through.
  • Let the meat loaves cool for 5 - 10 minutes before cutting them.
  • Enjoy!
  • P.S. To cook a frozen meatloaf, take the frozen meat loaf out the day before you want to cook it and let it thaw in the refrigerator. Cook as stated above.
  • P.S.S. This meatloaf pairs wonderfully with my super yummy corn casserole!
