There is no classic meatloaf, because different hands will make different types of meatloaf — so let’s make it your own. This is my version of meatloaf, but you can adjust some of the ingredients as desired, like adding mustard or more pasta sauce or ketchup. I substituted ketchup with pasta sauce in the mixture, because I didn’t have enough ketchup in hand. Luckily, the meatloaf still turned out to be good. You can also add some diced mushroom, carrots, corns or more onions. To make it a complete meal, serve the meatloaf with mashed potato and pan-seared broccoli.
Ingredients:
- • 1 pound ground beef
- • ¾ cup Ragu or pasta sauce of your choice
- • ½ cup finely chopped onions
- • 1 egg
- • 1 cup bread crumbs
- • 1 teaspoon salt
- • 1 teaspoon pepper
- • ¼ cup ketchup
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- In a bowl, beat the egg and mix with ground beef.
- Slowly add pasta sauce to the mixture.
- Add bread crumbs, chopped onions, salt and pepper.
- Press mixture in an ungreased 8×4-inch loaf pan.
- Bake for 45 minutes.
- Let it cool for 10 minutes then brush the ketchup onto the meatloaf.
