Yesterday was my husband's birthday! The only thing he wanted was for me to cook his favorite dinner - Grandma's homemade macaroni and cheese, broccoli and meatloaf that he swears is the best he's ever tasted. I would have chosen a nice restaurant myself, but I guess that's a compliment :) Here is the recipe for the meatloaf I made that is quick, easy and delicious!
"BEST EVER" MEATLOAF
2 eggs
2/3 cup milk
3 slices of bread
1/2 cup chopped onion
4 oz. shredded cheese (I like to use cheddar)
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 1/2 pounds of lean ground beef
Topping:
1/2 cup tomato sauce
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon of mustard
Preheat oven at 350 degrees. Beat the eggs and milk. Add torn pieces of bread and let stand until the bread absorbs the liquid (I also beat the bread into the egg/milk mixture to combine it really well). Stir in the onion and cheese. Add the ground beef and mix well (hands work well for this part). Shape into a loaf.
Combine the topping ingredients and spoon over the meatloaf after about 20 minutes and continue to spoon over mealoaf every 10 minutes while it is cooking. This delicious meatloaf will be ready after 45 minutes.
I am generally not a big fan of meatloaf (and actually just decided to go vegetarian again), but this one is really yummy! Using fresh bread keeps it very moist and there is plenty for leftovers. Let me know what you think!
