RECIPE - Savory Meat Loaf

This is the recipe I follow for meatloaf that has become a true family favorite. It comes from my Betty Crocker Cookbook that was given to me by Grandmother when Hubby and I got married. Some modifications done that adds the EASY in the name.

SAVORY EASY MEATLOAF

2 pounds lean ground beef
1 cup milk
1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon dried rubbed sage - (looks kinda fluffy in the jar)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground mustard
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1 egg
1/2 cup seasoned bread crumbs
1/4 teaspoon minced onion (equals 1/4 cup fresh onion)
1/2 cup ketchup, chili sauce or barbecue sauce

1. Heat oven to 350°F.

2. Mix all ingredients except ketchup. Spread mixture in ungreased loaf pan, 8 1/2x4 1/2x2 1/2 or 9x5x3 inches, or shape into 9x5-inch loaf in ungreased rectangular pan, 13x9x2 inches. Spread ketchup over top.

3. Insert meat thermometer so tip is in center of loaf. Bake uncovered 1 hour to 1 hour 30 minutes or until thermometer reads 160°F
