SUPER EASY SUPER TASTY MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine meat, bread crumbs, onion, ketchup, eggs, and onion soup mix.
• Use your hands to squish all of the ingredients together until all of the ingredients are well combined.
• Form the meat mixture into two "loaves." At this point, I usually wrap one of the loaves in press and seal freezer wrap and toss it in the freezer. However, if you have a larger family, you'll probably want to cook both.
• Put the two loaves in a 13x9 baking pan and bake for 45 minutes.
• While the loaves are baking, mix up the sauce by stirring the ketchup, the brown sugar, and the mustard together until smooth. Set aside.
• After 45 minutes, take the meat loaves out and spread the sauce over the tops.
• Placed the sauced loaves back in the oven and bake for another 15 minutes or until cooked through.
• Let the meat loaves cool for 5 - 10 minutes before cutting them.
• Enjoy!
• P.S. To cook a frozen meatloaf, take the frozen meat loaf out the day before you want to cook it and let it thaw in the refrigerator. Cook as stated above.
• P.S.S. This meatloaf pairs wonderfully with my super yummy corn casserole!
