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! 🙂
