Easiest Ground Beef Meatloaf

"This is my mom's recipe for plain old meatloaf--I checked around and didn't see it posted yet (though I will admit to not looking at every recipe)! This is the easiest meatloaf with a great crust--and one that even my DH loves! (And he's not a meatloaf fan!)"

  1. It had been years since I cooked a meatloaf. When in doubt, check Recipezaar. The word "Easiest" attracted me. The loaf came out delicios and my wife and I and her co-workers enjoyed the leftovers as meatloaf sandwiches. I made it exactely as the recipe called for, and enjoyed one of the best meatloafs I could remember.
     
  2. Almost inedible. Two tablespoons salt is crazy! I put half that in and it was still far too salty. I think they must have meant teaspoon. Also dry. Won't do this again.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

<p>My name is Karen and I live West of Chicago (on the edge of no where!) with my DH, our two German Shepherds, and our two daughters. I love to golf, garden (except for the weeding!), am addicted to romance novels (and good science fiction), and I love to bake--usually cakes from scratch when I have the time! Since getting married, I have been cooking a lot more and am having a lot of fun trying new recipes! And&nbsp;now that I have two little ones, the&nbsp;slow cooker is my friend!&nbsp; The girls take a lot of time, but they are worth it!<br /><br />The dogs are my babies too--though they are about as big as I am! &nbsp;It has been a bit of a challenge at times, as&nbsp;they both have severe hip dysplasia, but they are great dogs and I have learned so much about arthritis! I have also learned a lot about cancer, as our female was diagnosed with bone cancer.&nbsp; She is now on three, but doing great post-chemo.&nbsp; They are both&nbsp;great with the kids and love to ***** little hands and feet! and noses! and ears! and...! <br /><br />I participated in the 2006 Fall PAC--and what a great game/program/thing! So much fun! <br /><br /><img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/untitled.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting" /> <br /><img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/200_artistrichardneuman-art-prints_.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting" /></p>
