Meatloaf

One of our favorite dinners is Meatloaf. Baked potatoes and baked beans make excellent side dishes with this meal. 

Ingredients:

2 lbs hamburger (I have also made this with 1 pound ground pork and 1 pound hamburger) 

3/4 cup bread crumbs

2 eggs

1 Tablespoon Parmesan cheese

1 Tablespoon milk

1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

1/4 cup chopped bacon pieces (optional) 

1/4 cup chopped onions

salt and pepper

Topping: 

1/4-1/2 cup Open Pit barbecue sauce

2 Tablespoons ketchup

1 Tablespoon brown sugar

Mix the ingredients (minus the topping ingredients) together with your hands. 

Place in a baking dish. Bake for about 40 minutes at 375 degrees. Meanwhile, mix the topping together in a bowl. 

Drain most of the grease out of the pan. Spread the topping on top of the baked meatloaf and bake for 5 more minutes. 

Some of the members of my family just like the meatloaf plain, so I only spread the sauce on half of the meatloaf.
