My Meatloaf

I've started making Meatloaf again. I hadn't made it for years.
I'd taken the ground beef out of the freezer to make one dish and then realized I never had everything I needed for that recipe and then Meatloaf was revived in our house :)

It's easy to make, tasty and filling what more could you want in this cold weather :)

My sister and family are visiting  this week and I wanted  something that wasn't going to take an age to prepare quick.

It seemed to be a hit :)

What you'll need

Minced/ground beef

eggs

minced dried onion  ~ 1/4 cup

onion powder  ~1 tablespoon

celery seed ~ 1 teaspoon

smoky paprika  ~ 2 tablespoons 

mixed herbs ~ 2 tablespoons

Worcestershire  Sauce 

crackers (I used Tuc  )

Tomato ketchup 

salt and pepper

Smash the crackers into crumbs

beat the eggs 

add the meat to a bowl
then add the cracker crumbs, minced onion, onion powder, celery seed, smoky paprika,  mixed herbs and salt and pepper (all dry ingredients)

mix together REALLY well, best way is to use your hands 

then add the worcester sauce and egg and mix again 

you need to mix well so the mixture is not too wet.

then shape the mixture into a loaf shape.

for easy I shape mine on a silicone oven mat and then bake  (easier to wash as well)

then pour the ketchup over the top of the meat mixture

spread the ketchup so the top off the meat is covered (not all over the meatloaf just the top)

bake in the oven until cooked through 

Slice then serve :)

What you'll need

You'll need Ketchup also 

smash the crackers to crumbs

beat the eggs

add all the dry ingredients

Mix well, using your hands is best 

add Worcestershire sauce

add egg and mix well

shape into a loaf shape

spread ketchup over just the top of the meatloaf
bake until cooked through
This took about 1 hour  15 at 190 degrees

enjoy :)
