Savory, Fool Proof Meatloaf

Meatloaf before cooking!

Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef

• 1 egg

• 1/3 cup Italian breadcrumbs

• 1/4 cup milk

• 1 packet Lipton onion soup mix

• 1 tsp Italian seasoning

• 1 tsp dried parsley

• 1 TB Ketchup

• salt & pepper to taste

• optional - 1 TB chili sauce

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a bread pan or similar shaped baking dish with cooking spray.

2. In a medium bowl combine egg, milk & breadcrumbs. Allow mixture to sit for 5-10 minutes.

3. Add the ground beef, onion soup mix, Italian seasoning, parsley, ketchup, salt & pepper, and chili sauce if using. It really adds a great zing! Mix until just combined; do not over mix. Over mixing can make the meat loaf tough.

4. Press into prepared dish and bake for about 50 minutes.

5. Allow meatloaf to rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

**This recipe can easily be doubled for a larger meat loaf. I also like to add a dash of Sate seasoning from Penzeys. Add your favorite seasonings to make it your own!**
