Recipe of the week - meatloaf

i love meatloaf and i'm not exactly sure why lol  it's not something that Mom made....at least i cannot ever remember having it at home.  i'm sure it was in the elementary school lunch rotation, but i doubt if that version sparked my love for it.  So, i'm not really sure why i enjoy it so much.  Probably because it can be a close 2nd to a good hamburger.  Anyway, up until about 2 months ago, i had never made a meatloaf.  i have been waiting until i found a good, basic recipe for one.  After a couple of tries, i came across this basic recipe that we have enjoyed on several occasions.  Enjoy!

2.5 lbs ground beef
1 onion, chopped
1.5 cup bread crumbs
1.5 cup milk
1 egg
Salt & Pepper to taste
1 cup ketchup
1/2 cup mustard
1 tbsp brown sugar

Combine first six ingredients.  Shape into a loaf.  Place the loaf into a greased loaf pan or pyrex dish.  Combine ketchup, mustard and brown sugar and stir until blended.  Pour over meatloaf.  Bake at 350 for 1 hour and 45 minutes.  Times will vary per oven.  Let sit a few minutes before serving.  i have also added some barbecue sauce to the sauce as well and have enjoyed it!

Cheers
