I guess my meatloaf is really just a big meatball.I usually only have ground beef, I add, onions, garlic powder, salt, pepper, one egg, Italian bread crumbs and spagh. sauce. Then I usually bake in muffin tins. Sometimes i tuck a little piece of mozz. string cheese in the middle. If it's topped with anything I prefer gravy instead of ketchup or red sauce.

Mix in large bowl 1 envelope of onion soup mix,2 pounds ground beef,1 1/2 cups of bread crumbs,2 eggs,3/4 cup water,1/3 cup tomato sauce & 1 T, worcestershire sauce.Put in large loaf pan and bake 350 for 1 hour or until done.When it is done I make onion gravy for who wants to put it over it.Here is how I make that-
1 envelope of onion soup mix and one cup water bring to boil.reduce heat and simmer 8 minutes.Stirring.in cup mix 1/2 cup milk and 1 T. flour and slowly add in onion water.Heat about 2 minutes stirring until thick.

Makes 1 1/2 cups.

I like mushrooms in meat loaf but no one else does

I lay a layer of onions and canned mushrooms in the bottom of greased glass loaf pan.

Then I take 1lb of lean ground beef, 1 link of itatlian sausage, 1 egg, 1 cup of bread crumbs and maybe 1 cup of salsa. Mix all and put in loaf pan. cook at 350 till done.

When i have company I do the above but half the meatstuff and in the middle put mashed potatoes and cheddar cheese, top with the other half of meatloaf stuff and bake. Then i add more cheese when done!

this is how we make ours except we use saltines crushed as our binder instead of cooking oats.

Haven't made meatloaf in years, but this is what I use:

ground beef
oatmeal
dried onion
ketchup
egg
garlic powder
season salt

I'd bake it in a loaf pan.

I love it with gravy and mashed pots.

When I was growing up, I always ate my meatloaf dunked in ketchup.

This sounds like a fun way to serve it.

How long do you cook the meatloaf when using muffin tins???

I always buy 1 1/2 pounds gr. beef and use the Mccormick meatloaf seasoning with the roasting bag. Around the meatloaf I put sliced onions and cubed potatoes, seasoned with seasoned salt. My dh loves it. I serve it with a sweet red sauce, I mix together ketchup, mustard, and brown sugar. On the side I usually make green beans that I simmer with Goya ham seasoning and another veggie like fried okra, squash, cabbage, whatever I have on hand.
