1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper

    If you sauté the onions in a pan first, then add them to the meat mixture, you’ll get more flavor and they won’t be as visibly prominent in the finished dish.

    I was thinking much the same, saute with other veggies if you like. Just make sure you allow them to cool before adding them to the raw ground beef. Also, soaking the breadcrumbs in milk for 20 mins will help them NOT pull moisture out of the meat.

    Exactly like my dear old mom made all her life. She taught me how to make it but insisted she made it for me right up until she became ill in her late 80's. Even though i remember how to make this simple economical delicious meatloaf i have kept her handwritten recipe....from the 50s' !! Mom left us many years ago, when i make her meatloaf i pull out her handwritten recipe, just to have a piece of her in the kitchen alongside me when i'm cooking it. luv you, Mom....and thank you young lady for bringing back these wonderful memories of my mom

    With meatloaf, I like to multiply the recipe up to 4 or even 10 pounds of meat. Then I separate the raw meatloaf into patties (each containing 4 oz of meat-about 6 oz per patty), and freeze them 4 patties to a freezer bag, laid out flat. Packaged that way it is very quick to thaw, and the messiest part of the raw-meat work is only done once. After thawing the exact amount you want, you can cook it in whatever shape you want. Flat patties and cupcakes cook the fastest.They also make good campfire foil meals, but my favorite method is to stuff it into green peppers. Last batch of meatloaf-stuffed peppers I lined and covered the pan with cabbage and collard leaves (I had a glut of them in the garden) to keep the moisture in.

    This is pretty much how I make my meatloaf! I have used breadcrumbs but I really like using stale, hard bread cut in pieces and let it soak in milk. Coincidentally, bbq sauce.has always been my secret ingredient! It gives the meatloaf a wonderful twist of taste! Instead of mustard, I use a tablespoon or two of apple cider vinegar.

On recommendation from commenters I sautéed the onions before introducing them to the ground beef. Also I used Sweet Baby Ray’s “sweet & spicy” bbq sauce and paired the meatloaf with mashed potato’s and brown gravy & steamed broccoli. It came out great & I highly recommend this recipe. I’m eating the last of it as I type lol.

    I am an oldy and usually a disaster waiting to happen in my SMALL kitchen. This was my first attempt at a "free standing" meatloaf and when I took I out of the oven for the glaze, the loaf had separated somewhat like crevice out from the center. Perhaps I didn't mold it small enough. My loaf did seem somewhat bigger that in the video. NEVERTHELESS, there's no one here to criticize my effort except my CAT 😺😺😺LOL. GREAT RECIPE and easy for this guy! DELICIOUS!
