My Meatloaf

By: Marian Turgeon 
"This is the meatloaf I taught myself how to make when I tried to duplicate my Daddy's meatloaf! It's a perennial family favorite! It's wonderful sliced cold the next day and used in a warm, toasted sandwich with a little butter."

Original Recipe Yield 4 servings
 

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 1/2 packet dry onion soup mix
  • 3 slices leftover bread (heels are great), torn into bite-size pieces
  • 1 teaspoon Italian-style seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • water as needed

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine the beef, ketchup, soup mix, bread, Italian-style seasoning and water. Mix well. Shape into a loaf and place into a 9 inch pie pan OR a 9x13 inch baking dish. Baste the top of the meatloaf with ketchup.
  3. Bake at 425 degrees F (220 degrees C) for one hour, or until the edges are just crispy and the top has a crust.
  4. Cool for 15 to 20 minutes before cutting.
