  • Don’t be afraid to get your hands into it and mix together. Once you have mixed it together, put it into a ball and roll it tight. What I do, I toss it between my hands and this packs the meat together tightly, otherwise if you don’t do this, you have a chance of the meat loaf falling apart while cooking.
  • Once you have done this, place into a baking dish and shape it into a sort of flat ball, to about 2-3 inches thick. Squirt some ketchup on the top and coat the top and sides. Place into a heated oven at 350 degrees for about 1 hour. When done, put on plate and let sit for 10 minutes before you slice it.
  • This meat loaf is good cold.
  • As you make this, you can add your own ingredients. My mom sometimes put barbeque sauce in it to make it a bit more spicy. Or you may want to cut back on the bread crumbs and add only one egg. It is up to you. But I make mine the above way.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I am living in Stafford England have been for just over 5 years. I enjoy being a housewife and I am now able to concentrate on my love of cooking for my family. I enjoy trying new recipes and making up a few as I cook. I am a part time pharmacy assistant for our local chemist. I met my husband on the internet, and find that I couldn't have found a more perfect partner than him. He is an exceptional man as he loves to cook with me. He is a very patient and loving man and understands me far better than anyone I know. He has two sons, Ben and Barrie, that are wonderful young men, who have accepted me in their lives as a stepmom. And now they have made me a grandma. I have a lovely grandson Jacob who is just 1 year. Now we were informed we are to become grandparents again in May and June. I love the idea of being a grandma. I love to collect cookbooks, Boyds Bears, take family pictures, Reading is a very big passion. I enjoy reading Nora Roberts and J D Robb, who are one in the same. I spend a lot of time playing World of WarCraft. I do miss my family that I left in the states, such as a sister and 3 brothers. Both of my parents are dead. My pet peeves.......I don't like it when friends don't keep in touch, I dislike phoniness, insincerity, and backstabbing. It is sad that there are so many people out there that are like that and don't realize it or just don't care..
