Day #30 - Meatloaf

Meatloaf Recipe

1 Lb Ground Beef (at least 80/20, but 93/7 preferred)
1 Stack of Saltine Crackers (crushed)
1 Can Tomato Sauce
2 Eggs
1 Big Squirt of Ketchup (about 1/4 - 1/3 cup)
Extra Ketchup for Topping
Italian Seasoning to Taste
Salt & Pepper to Taste
1 Cup Chopped Onions (optional)

Mix all ingredients either by hand or with a strong mixer, reserving the extra ketchup.  Put meat mixture into a greased loaf pan and press down.  Optional:  If you happen to have extra sliced ham and cheese, you can press a deep well into the meatloaf mixture, lay in the ham and cheese, then seal the meatloaf well (important, or the cheese will bubble out and make a mess).  Drizzle with extra ketchup.

Cover with foil and bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour, then remove foil and bake another 15-20 minutes until top starts to brown.

Side Dishes:
