My No-Frills (But Yummy) Meatloaf
When I made this a couple of weeks ago I wasn’t sure if I should add it in the blog archives because I know I already have a couple of meatloaf recipes here but then I remembered the one I have is stuffed with cheese, spinach, and mushrooms. That’s definitely NOT a basic meatloaf, HAH! There is another one with barbecue sauce. Now, this meatloaf is quite basic. When Caine asked if there’s a special sauce for it, Scott and I joked that yes there is a special sauce called Ketchup. HAHAHAHA!
That’s about as no-frills meatloaf as you can get but don’t let that fool you because this is actually quite yummy. Even Emma, who is a picky eater, gave it her 2 thumbs up.
Ingredients
Method
- Preheat the oven to 350° In a huge mixing bowl combine the ground meat, chopped onions, egg, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, 1/2 cup of ketchup, bread crumbs plus salt and pepper. Use your hands to mix everything together.

- Press the meat mixture in the loaf pan. Brush the top with the last 1/2 cup of ketchup.

- Cover with foil then bake it in the oven for 45 minutes. Take it out of the oven after 45 minutes, take the foil out then brush the top with a little bit more of ketchup. Return to the oven to bake for another 15 minutes.

- Transfer in a serving platter. Slice carefully.


Serve with mashed potatoes and peas(or whatever veggies you like).
