I have never had good luck making meatloaf. I have 2 pounds of ground beef in the refrigerator and I don't know what to do with it. Help!

Why not make hamburgers?

2 Tablespoons ketchup

1 teaspoon salt

1/4 cup finely chopped onion

2 slices of bread, torn into small pieces

1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef

Mix all ingredients together thoroughly. Pack lightly into 9x5x3-inch loaf pan. Bake in a 350 degree oven about 1 hour until done and brown on top.

This is almost exactly like I make mine! No fillers and it comes out great every time!

Personally, I like my meatloaf. My recipe is:

1 1/2 lbs. hamburg (I used 90% lean)

1 1/4 cups bread crumbs

1 cup milk

1 egg

1 packet Lipton Beefy Onion soup mix

1 1/2 T. Worcestershire sauce

Dashes of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and celery salt

Bake covered at 350 degees for 1 1/2 hours.

If I am in a hurry, I throw in some thick salsa, smush it up, throw it in a loaf pan, pour some ketchup on top, stick it in the oven and go watch tv. It has salsa, tomatoes, peppers, onions and spices, which is what I put in meatloaf anyway. I don't use filler and egg usually anyway, so this works for me.
