Today we are not going to talk about pot roast. We are going to talk about meat loaf. I have "invented" my own meatloaf recipe. Basically, what I did was take my mom's and my mamaw's recipe and put what I wanted in it. Your probably thinking "What! A fifteen year old girl making up her own recipe!!!" to me, meatloaf is foolproof.
Let's get started.
First, I preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (177 degrees Celsius). Then, cut up 1/4 of an onion, 1/4 of a bell pepper, and one clove of garlic. I sautéed them in a little bit of olive oil. They don't need to get brown. About five minutes is probably good enough.
Once the vegetables were done, I added them to about 1 & 1/2 lbs. of ground beef. I just stirred it up with a fork, but you can use your hands if you prefer to get your hands dirty.
After that was all mixed up, I went ahead and added 1 egg, 1 cup bread crumbs, 1/2 T worcestershire, and salt and pepper. I just sprinkled in the salt and pepper.
Put it in a pie pan and stick it in the oven for one hour. When it's got about ten minutes left mix 1/2 cup ketchup with 1 T of brown sugar; pour it on top of the meatloaf. That should be enough but if you think you need more, then make more. Simple as that.
Note: I usually don't measure a lot of the ingredients, so if you feel like your meatloaf needs anything, add it.
Serve it with any side dishes you like and you are done!
