My Mama always made the best meatloaf. And fried squash. I still can’t get my squash to come out like her’s and have to con ask her to fry mine when we want it to this day. But I can make meatloaf like she does! See, I don’t like meatloaf with bread crumbs, or saltines, or any other filler like that. I understand that there are a thousand different ways to make meatloaf and if however you like yours is fine for you but I want MEATloaf. And that is just what hers was. Bric always told me he didn’t like meatloaf…until I made it for supper one day and didn’t give him any other option. He has since become a believer that it is all in how it’s made…and LOVES this recipe. And to boot, it is super easy!
Gather your ingredients
Mix everything together and place in a baking dish
(my 8 X 8 was currently home to a batch of brownies so I had to use my oblong one)
Bake on 350 degrees for about 45 minutes and drain excess grease
Top with some ketchup and bake about 15 minutes longer.
Serve and enjoy!
Mama’s Meatloaf
1 1/2 – 2 pounds ground beef (give or take a little)
1 egg
1 6 oz. can tomato paste
1 package onion soup mix
Mix all together and place in a 8 X 8 pan or 2 loaf pans. Bake on 350 degrees for 45 minutes to an hour.
I usually bake mine for about 45 minutes, then drain any excess grease off then squirt a little ketchup on the top.
