Super Easy Meatloaf

Meatloaf is one of those you either love or hate it.  At least it seems that way to me.  I have never been a big meatloaf fan.  I remember calling friends and asking their recipes in hopes that someday I will find one I like. Finally, one of my friends gave me the simplest, tastiest meatloaf I have ever had.  It instantly became a hit in my house.

The original recipe she found over at the Kraft Foods website.  Now I will admit the Easy Pleasing Meatloaf is good, but it's not great.  So I tweaked it a little bit.  With the changes it is so incredibly yummy!  There are rarely leftovers and when there is we love meatloaf sandwiches for lunch the next day!

Super Easy Meatloaf

2 lbs ground beef

1 (6 oz) package chicken stuffing mix

8 oz tomato sauce (if I have the small V8 cans I use those and they work perfectly!)

2 eggs beaten
1 small onion, diced

1 TBS Worcestershire sauce

1/4 cup ketchup

1/4 cup brown sugar (honey and light karo syrup work too)

• In a large bowl combine everything except ketchup and brown sugar together (I use my hands...it just works better for me)
• Shape into a loaf pan
• In a small bowl stir together ketchup and brown sugar
• Pour over the top of the meatloaf
• Bake in a 375 degree preheated oven for 60 minutes or until done

There you have it!  The super easy meatloaf.  One of the only recipes I like.  Give it a try and I bet you'll love it too!
