MA! The Meatloaf!
If you would have told my younger self that I’d be eating meatloaf as an adult, I would have denied it until I was blue in the face. Alas….here we are. As for my son, he won’t touch it. LOL That just means more for Ryan and I!
I have a couple different favor renditions of this and have included them both.
INGREDIENTS:
2 LB Ground Beef
3 Eggs
2 Sleeves of Ritz Crackers, crushed fine
1/4 cup of Milk
1 tsp Onion Powder
1 cup or 4-5oz Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese
Ketchup, to add to top
Salt & Pepper to taste
Optional Italian Style:
1 jar Pizza Sauce, we prefer Gino’s 12 oz
1 Tbsp Italian Seasoning
Optional BBQ Style:
1 cup BBQ sauce, we prefer Stubb’s
DIRECTIONS:
Combine all ingredients.
Form into two loafs on a sheet pan.
Bake at 350 deg F for 60 minutes or until internal temp reaches 165 deg F
Add Ketchup when 30 minutes remain.
Optional: Broil at the end for 5 minutes for a toasty top.
Enjoy
We often serve this with a simple slice of buttered bread and green beans.
*We prefer to bake both and freeze one for another easy supper later.
