Leftover Meatloaf


Meatloaf gets a bad rap, and I'm not really sure why. The wife makes a really good meatloaf from a pound of ground beef, some onion, garlic, milk, ketchup, and salt & pepper. It's tasty, and the recipe is included below. When we first cooked the meal, we steamed some broccoli and cooked some long-grain brown rice along with it. A pretty simple meal, but healthy and delicious!

Mom's Meatloaf


1 lb lean ground beef
2/3 cup milk
1/4 cup ketchup
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
3 cloves garlic, diced
Ketchup

-Preheat oven to 350 F
-In a mixing bowl, combine the ingredients, mixing well. Form into a loaf in a greased baking pan. Top with a zig-zag of ketchup.
-Bake for 1 hour at 350 F. (This tends to be a fairly juicy recipe, so we pour out excess liquid about halfway through. It makes the edges a bit crispy, and probably cuts down on the fat content too.)
