I don't think anyone in the world has ever thought they would like meatloaf... until they actually ate it. As a kid I would REFUSE to eat meatloaf because it just sounded so gross. Bread comes in a loaf. Meat does not. My mom might as well been trying to feed me horse liver. Then one day, when I was about 10 years old, I ate it. And holy crap! Meatloaf is delicious. (Eric had a similar experience. Except he was 30. And my mom was me.)
Ingredients: 1 lb. ground beef, one packet onion soup mix, parmesan cheese, one egg, 2/3 cup bread crumbs, ketchup (This recipe is good for 3 servings, I normally double it so we have leftovers for the next couple days.)
Combine Stuff: Add the egg, bread crumbs, about 1/2 of the packet of onion soup mix, a squirt of ketchup and a couple shakes of the parmesan cheese to your ground beef and mix it all together. Go on, use your hands, get dirty! (P.S. Let's all give Eric some credit for being a good camera man and taking the next couple photos for me, since my hands were meatloafy.)
Turn your meat into loaf: Cover a baking sheet with foil and spray it with some nonstick spray. Grab your wad o' meat and form it into the shape of a loaf on the baking sheet.
Ketchup and Season: Season your loaf with some garlic powder and salt and pepper. Squirt some more ketchup on top.
Bakin' Time: Pop that sucker into a preheated 350 degree oven for 1 hour. If you double the recipe, you'll need to keep it in for about 1 hour 15 minutes.
Lucy really wanted some meatloaf. So I guess I was wrong about EVERYBODY thinking meatloaf sounded gross. She thinks it sounded delish. Which it was.
