ok here goes mine...not scientific as i learned to make this from my grandma who was a strong believer in a pinch of this, a couple handfuls of that were measurements... 2 pounds 80/20 ground chuck 1 pound sausage roll (i use sage flavored) 1 lg onion chopped 2 packs onion soup mix (beefy onion works well too) enough eggs and oatmeal to make it stick together 1/2 c milk (whole milk if possible) KETCHUP any other vegetables you can grate up and hide from the kiddies (carrots, zucchini, and squash all work well here) preheat oven to 350 mix everything together, reserving enough ketchup to smear on top pinch a small amount of the meatloaf off and fry it up in a skillet to taste, add spices as desired (i like to use garlic, oregano, thyme, rosemary or an Italian blend of herbs and spices) when seasoned to your taste, mound in the middle of a casserole dish large enough to hold it all, making sure it is not too thick in the middle. schmear ketchup all over the outside of this puppy thickly. cover with foil and bake. after 60 minutes of bake time, keep checking every 5-10 minutes fore doneness using a probe style meat thermometer. bout 30 minutes before you think it's going to be done, pull the cover off so it can all brown nicely let it rest while you set the table, round up your chitlins, shoo the ones that aren't yours home, get the old man out of the garage, den, tv chair or wherever he's plopped his ass after work, make em all wash up, and then serve from the kitchen so you can hopefully have enough left over for a sandwich tomorrow. This is how my grandma taught me to make meatloaf, and yes, those are her words, even though most of them were tongue-in-cheek as she was very eloquent. Enjoy!!! His baby girl
