I found this recipe in my mom’s old recipe book the other day and thought I’d give it a try since she wrote “very good” on it 🙂 My picky husband even liked it and went back for seconds, which rarely happens! It was very simple to throw together so it would make a great weeknight meal. I paired it with some mashed potatoes and corn…. Let’s get to it!
What you will need:
1 envelope Lipton’s onion soup mix (I used vegetable soup mix since that’s what was in the pantry)
2 lbs ground beef
1 1/2 cup bread crumbs
2 eggs, beaten
3/4 cup water
1/3 cup tomato sauce
1 tbsp worcestershire sauce
ketchup for topping* (see my note about this below…)
big bowl
spoon
loaf pan
cooking spray
Directions:
Mix all ingredients (except ketchup for topping) together in a bowl. Spray or grease a loaf pan and place mixture in, smoothing out the top.
*If desired, spread a layer of ketchup on the top (NOTE: my husband does not like ketchup, so I could not use this as a topping. My picture shows a “nekkid” meatloaf! LOL) I also had the idea to put a couple of slices of American cheese on top of the meatloaf a few minutes before it came out of the oven, but he 86’d that idea also. However, I did smother my slice of meatloaf with ketchup afterwards while the hubby ate his plain.)
Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for about 50 minutes.
God is great, God is good… let us thank Him for our food! 🙂
