Mix all of these together and form a loaf. then cook in oven at 350 degrees until no longer pink. then i put more ketchup to cover the top and cook it a few more minutes. it is so yummy!

Adolf's meatloaf mix!!!! Awesome you'll love it.
ground meat, eggs, and I use italian style breadcrumbs. I add regular bread too but only 3-4 slices depending on size of meatloaf. I usually guess on amounts, but I prefer to add more bread or crumbs and less meat because the drier it is the more crusty it gets and I love it that way. I don't put ketchup on it. I let anyone who eats put it on if they want it.
1 pound of beef or turkey
garlic seasoning
1 onion dice
bbq sauce half a bottle
1 egg
italian bread crumbs
mix well and form the meat loaf
put in the oven for an hour at 350 degrees
I've been told I make the best meatloaf ever. Here's my secret. Mix hamburger, an egg, bread crumbs (enough to absorb the egg but not enough to dry meat out) and then....add pesto sauce, I use the jarred kind, you can find it by the spaghetti sauce, then put in some crumbled feta cheese....mix all together, put in a loaf pan top with either spaghetti sauce or pesto, cover with foil...bake for an hour at 350....check for desired doneness (is that a word?) Anyway, it is really good, I think I'll make some myself : )
BEST MEATLOAF
BASIC MIX:
1 1/2 pounds ground beef
1 c. fresh Italian style bread crumbs
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
3-4 cloves garlic, finely minced
1 large onion, finely chopped
1 large green bell pepper, chopped
1 egg
1 1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 8 oz can tomato sauce
1 cup ketchup
1/2 cup water or beef stock (can use bouillon)
3 tbsp. Balsamic vinegar
3 tbsp. brown sugar
2 tbsp. Dijon mustard
2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
1/4 c. Parmesan, grated (optional)
In a small bowl, combine tomato sauce, ketchup, Balsamic vinegar, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and water/beef stock.
In a large bowl, combine beef, bread crumbs, onions, green bell pepper, parsley, chopped garlic, egg, seasonings, 3/4 cup of tomato mixture, and optionally, Parmesan cheese.
Form into loaf. Place into shallow 7 by 10 in. pan or bread loaf tin, lightly oiled. Pour remaining liquid over meat loaf to coat. Bake in a 350 degrees Fahrenheit oven for one hour and 15 minutes, basting occasionally with ketchup or your favorite barbecue sauce.
Optional Variations:
Choose one:
1. Eliminate salt, bouillon, and substitute 3 tablespoon onion soup mix. Sprinkle top with tomato soup and crushed crackers instead.
2. Use old-fashioned rolled oats instead of bread crumbs.
3. If you have leftover bread, especially Italian or French bread, substitute milk for the water listed in recipe, and soak about 2 cups bread in the milk prior to mixing into the meat mixture. Squeeze out the excess slightly before adding. Substitute this bread for the bread crumbs. After mixing everything together, you can also form this meat mixture into meatballs and fry in 1/2 inch olive oil in a heavy bottom skillet (such as cast iron). If making Italian meatballs, leave out the brown sugar and Dijon mustard, but be sure to use the Parmesan cheese. Season the oil in the pan with 2-3 whole cloves garlic (don't chop it up or it will burn instead of just roasting).
4. If you're in a hurry, you may use as a substitute 2 cups of barbecue sauce and eliminate the following ingredients:
1 c. ketchup
1 8 oz can tomato sauce
3 tbsp. balsamic vinegar
3 tbsp. of brown sugar
2 tbsp. Dijon mustard
2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
5. Eliminate the sauté crumbs. Sauté this mixture with onion and garlic for 5 minutes and layer a casserole with no-cook lasagna noodles. Place meat mixture to cover noodles. Add a sprinkling of Parmesan cheese and:
1/3 pound ricotta mixed with one egg
1/4 c. freshly chopped Italian parsley or 1 c. fresh spinach
1/2 pound grated mozzarella cheese
Cover with another layer of noodles, and top with 1 large can of tomato sauce mixed with 1/2 teaspoon each basil and oregano. Place in 325 degree oven 60 minutes or until bubbly, basting occasionally with sauce to prevent lasagna from drying out.
6. Form meat mixture into large doughnut shapes, approximately 6-7 inches across. When forming the doughnut, don't allow the center to actually become a doughnut hole; just thin it out, leaving a well in the center. Optionally, brush with ketchup. Crush 8-10 Saltine or Ritz crackers into crumbs and sprinkle over the doughnut shaped burger, concentrating the excess crumbs into the center. Sprinkle with onion and garlic powder and a liberal dose of soy sauce, allowing a 1/2 spoon or so to form in the well. This can optionally be topped with cheese and canned mushrooms if desired. Place in microwave and cook on high for 3 minutes or so, according to size, until the juices run clear and meat doughnut is done. Served with meat drippings as topping, there is no need for a bun. This is a fast and easy low-carb lunch!
7. Place 3-4 strips of bacon lengthwise along the top of the meatloaf. Garnish with rings of green or red bell pepper and bake as usual. 8. Use your imagination, get creative, and enjoy!

I make meatloaf a lot! One recipe I use calls for ground beef, about 10 oz of stuffing (cornbread stuffing in a bag), an egg and salt and pepper. Bake at 350 degrees for an hour. I always top my meatloaf with 1/4 cup of brown sugar mixed with 1/2 cup catsup. I also use oatmeal occasionally instead of bread. Same topping.

1 to 1 -1/2 pounds ground beef
