\"meatloaf_shauna\"<\/a><\/p>\n

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 \ud83d\ude42\u00a0 My picky husband even liked it and went back for seconds, which rarely happens!\u00a0 It was very simple to throw together so it would make a great weeknight meal.\u00a0 I paired it with some mashed potatoes and corn…. \u00a0 Let’s get to it!<\/p>\n

What you will need:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

1 envelope Lipton’s onion soup mix (I used vegetable soup mix since that’s what was in the pantry)<\/p>\n

2 lbs ground beef<\/p>\n

1 1\/2 cup bread crumbs<\/p>\n

2 eggs, beaten<\/p>\n

3\/4 cup water<\/p>\n

1\/3 cup tomato sauce<\/p>\n

1 tbsp worcestershire sauce<\/p>\n

ketchup for topping* (see my note about this below…)<\/p>\n

big bowl<\/p>\n

spoon<\/p>\n

loaf pan<\/p>\n

cooking spray<\/p>\n

Directions:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Mix all ingredients (except ketchup for topping) together in a bowl.\u00a0 Spray or grease a loaf pan and place mixture in, smoothing out the top.<\/p>\n

*If desired, spread a layer of ketchup on the top (NOTE<\/strong>:\u00a0 my husband does not like ketchup, so I could not use this as a topping.\u00a0 My picture shows a “nekkid” meatloaf! LOL) \u00a0I 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.\u00a0 However, I did smother my slice of meatloaf with ketchup afterwards while the hubby ate his plain.)<\/p>\n

Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for about 50 minutes.<\/p>\n
