- Yields:
-
1 meat loaf
- Serves:
- 10
ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef (leanest you can get)
- 1 (1 1/4 ounce) packet onion soup mix
- 4 slices soft bread
- 1⁄4 cup flour
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon dry mustard
- 1⁄2 teaspoon pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄4 cup ketchup
directions
- Tear soft bread into very small peices and toss into mixer. Add dry onion soup packet, and 1/4 cup flour. Run the mixer on medium to high until you have fine soft bread crumbs. This only takes a few minutes , and is the key to getting the loaf right. The crumbs may dry out a bit, this is desired. Add the beef, dry mustard, salt, pepper, and eggs into the mixture. Blend well until you have a dough-ish ball for the loaf. Press the meat mixture into a loaf pan, with a large indentation lengthwise down the middle of the loaf. Bake on 420 degrees F. for 34- 40 minutes or until loaf appears quite done. Drain off the loaf, the indentation may have collected some grease be sure to drain this off. Pour ketchup down the " ditch" or the indentation of the loaf, and return to the oven for about 8 minutes. The ketchup will have congealed a bit. Let the loaf rest a few minutes before serving.

Another one of those recipes I made to share with a neighbor couple, & I did use some homemade cranberry ketchup instead of the store-bought stuff! Other than that the recipe was followed, & everyone thought the meatloaf was wonderful! Firm enough for meatloaf sandwiches the next day! Thanks for sharing the recipe!
