Saaaaweeeet Meatloaf!

If you love meatloaf that is juicy, sweet, and crunchy on top, then you will LOVE my mom's recipe!  It was the first "meal" I ever made on my own.  DELICIOUS!

My Mom!

*Note: She doesn't measure, just eyeballs.  :)

You will need:

• 1/2 onion
• 2 eggs
• brown sugar
• ketchup
• Heinz 57 sauce
• saltine crackers (one whole "sleeve")
• 2 lbs beef
• mixing bowl

1. Preheat oven to 350.
2. Using a rolling pin, smash up all the crackers.
3. Chop the onion.
4. In a mixing bowl, mush the burger (with your hands! :P)  *You may need a helper for this next part since your hands will be full of burger*
5. Mix in all of the listed ingredients with the beef.  (I am sorry that I don't have any exact measurements for ya.  It depends on how sweet you like your meatloaf).
6. Put the yumminess that will be meatloaf in a loaf pan (covered with aluminum foil).
7. Bake for 50 minutes.
8. Take off the aluminum foil and poor a mixture of Heinz 57 and brown sugar on top.
9. Bake uncovered for 20 minutes or until meatloaf is at 170 degrees.
10. Viola! You have a delicious, sweet, juicy meatloaf!

 

I only wish I would have taken a picture of the INSIDE so you could have seen how JUICY it was!

PS I know this picture of meatloaf doesn't look pretty, but when does meatloaf ever look as good as it smells and tastes?!
