Here is my meatloaf recipe. While there are a million out there, this is what we love. Feel free to get creative though. Add cheese, use BBQ sauce as a topping, add an endless variety of vegetables chopped in. I frequently add green bell pepper, cream corn or spinach right in to the mix. The measurements below are for 1 lb of meat. Increase accordingly depending on how much you are making.
Ingredients
1 lb Lean ground beef or turkey
1/4 cup plain bread crumbs/crumbled toast/crackers
1 egg
1/2 can tomato paste
1/4 onion, minced
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp seasoned salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
dash worcestershire sauce, optional
Combine all ingredients in a large bowl.
I prefer to mix all of my seasonings in a separate bowl and then pour them into the main bowl so everything distributes evenly.
If you don't have tomato paste then just use catsup or omit it all together.
Allow mix to "marinate" for at least 2 hours.
Bake for 45 minutes on 375. Take out of oven, top with remaining tomato paste mixed with equal parts catsup (or all catsup if you don't have tomato paste). Bake an additional 10 minutes.
Slice, serve and enjoy :)

this is eerie, I've been looking for a meatloaf recipe for days and was planning on making some tonight. This is perfect. And can you believe I've never made meatloaf??
Laura - I had never made it either until Ben and I got married. I cheated for the longest time and bought the seasoning packet but it was always just "off". I hope ya'll like it! Let me know how you change it up :)
