Mama's Meatloaf

Here's a quick and super easy meatloaf recipe that my mom shared with me shortly after I got married. You can lighten this recipe up by using ground turkey. It turns out the same and is just as delicious.

Ingredients:

Meatloaf -

• 1 Egg
• 1 envelope Lipton Onion Soup Mix (with Mushrooms)
• 1 can (8oz) Tomato Sauce
• 1 cup Oatmeal (original quick cooking oats)
• 1-1 ½ pounds Ground Beef

Topping -

• 1/3 cup of ketchup
• 2 tablespoons of brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon of dry mustard
  

Directions:

Meatloaf -

• Mix egg, ketchup, soup and oatmeal then add the beef. You can mix it up in a stand mixer, with a large spoon and a lot of mixing or by hand. If you do it by hand be sure to wash your hands afterward. Food poisoning is never fun.
  
• Place mixture in loaf pan and pat into shape.*You can also make this is a 1 1/2 - 2 qt baking dish as well.
  
• The meatloaf will look brown and will pull away from the sides of the pan when done.

Topping -

• Mix all ingredients together and spoon onto uncooked meatloaf. Spread with a knife to cover the entire meatloaf.

Bake for 1hr and 20 minutes at 350 degrees. Check the inside of the meatloaf to ensure meat is fully cooked before serving.
