It's not an exact science, as I usually just toss in amounts that look right and bake for a while (45 minutes) and then test it...but, here is my meatloaf recipe. I think I'll make it this Sunday. I've been craving it ever since Curt ordered it for his dinner last Saturday.
My Meat Loaf
2# Hamburger
1 egg
8-10 saltine crackers (make crumbs)
1 small onion, minced
1/2 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp basil
sprinkle of garlic powder
pepper
salt
1 TB ketchup
Glaze
1/2 c ketchup 1/4 c brown sugar
Mix the meatloaf ingredients together. Put the mix in a bread pan - push mixture down so that it conforms to the sides and is flat on top. Bake at 350 for 45 minutes to 1 hour. (Meat should be done through in the middle.)
Mix the glaze together. 5 minutes before the meatloaf is done, put the glaze on top. Bake for 5 more minutes.

My kind of chow. You can ask your Dad about the 100 ways of making meatloaf that I came up with. sometimes I even poked holes in the middle and would drop eggs in and cover with more meat mixture and the "surprize" would be hard baked eggs...kind of like hard-boiled. Sometimes I'd add a middle layer of a cup or two of shredded carrots or with dill pickles. Sometimes I added rice. Or I'd add bread crumbs, or potatoe flakes, or oatmeal, a little wheatgerm or bulger...not saltines very often...they were hard to keep in the house what with you 4 bigger kids always wanting them with p-nut butter or in soup. A couple of times I did add ritz crackers and once I even added those little cheesy crackers all crushed up. I also snuck layers of cheese sometimes. Every can of soup that campbelle's ever made ended up in the meatloaf at one time or another.
Mostly every one looked forward to my meatloaf surprizes. and if you are doing ground pork loin or ground turkey or ground ham you should always add chopped mushrooms (from the can) for added moisture. Yummy.
Your's sounds yummy too. love u...
