Meatloaf is one of the most popular of current trending meals in the world. It is enjoyed by millions every day. It’s easy, it is fast, it tastes yummy. Meatloaf is something which I have loved my whole life. They are nice and they look wonderful.

To begin with this recipe, we have to first prepare a few components. You can cook meatloaf using 11 ingredients and 10 steps. Here is how you cook that.

The ingredients needed to make Meatloaf:

1. Make ready Meatloaf
2. Prepare 1 lb Ground Beef
3. Take 1 Diced Onion, Bell Peppers (Optional)
4. Make ready 1 envelope Lipton Onion Soup Mix
5. Prepare 1 large Egg
6. Prepare 1 cup Bread Crumbs
7. Prepare 1 cup French Dressing (Low Calorie Works Too)
8. Prepare Ketchup Topping
9. Get 1 Ketchup
10. Make ready 1 Worcestershire Sauce
11. Take 1 Brown Sugar

Steps to make Meatloaf:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Mix the ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, and brown sugar. The amounts are your preference, but the Worcestershire is strong, so be careful.
3. Saute onions and peppers, if you're using any, until they're soft. Don't use too many, or the loaf may not stick together correctly.
4. In a bowl, mix the hamburger, onion soup mix, veggies, and the egg. I suggest using your hands; it's the best way to mix thoroughly.
5. Next is the French dressing and bread crumbs. This is a bit tricky at first, but trust me you'll get it once you start. Add about 1/2 cup of each to start, and add from there what you need to make sure the loaf isn't dry or too sticky. It should come off your fingers, but not crumble.
6. Put it into a loaf pan (we use the same one that we would for banana bread). My mom used glass, we use metal, and it doesn't matter too much.
7. Bake about 30 minutes, until the top feels firmer.
8. You can drain some of the grease now if you want, we tilt the pan and hold the loaf with a paper towel. Then spread plenty of the ketchup mix on top, and bake for another 15 minutes.
9. Of course, if it doesn't seem cooked through, it can easily take more time.
10. Give it maybe ten extra minutes to cool, and enjoy!
