Mr. Food: Our Favorite Meat Loaf

August 15, 2010

Serves: 6

Baking Time: 1 hr

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds ground beef
  • 3 slices white bread, torn into small pieces
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon dry mustard
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 3 tablespoons ketchup (see Options)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  2. In a large bowl, combine all ingredients except ketchup; mix well. Press mixture evenly into a 9" x 5" loaf pan; spread ketchup over top.
  3. Bake 60 to 65 minutes, or until no pink remains and juices run clear. Remove from oven, drain, and allow to sit 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Options

If you prefer to do without the ketchup, that's okay. You could use spaghetti sauce or just leave the top plain.
