I like to fix meals my hubby likes, so when I started making meat loaf for him, I went to his mom to find out how he liked it.  I make it the same way every time, usually without variation.  This is the recipe my MIL gave me.  I usually don’t measure anything, I just add it til it looks good, but I’ll try my best.  Adjust everything until you get something you really like!!

Hubby’s Favorite Meat Loaf

What you need

• 2 lbs ground beef ( I have also used venison, but recommend you use at least half ground beef for best flavor)
• 1 small onion
• 1/2-3/4 sleeve saltine crackers
• salt, pepper, garlic salt (all to taste)
• 4 T. ketchup (or to taste)
• 4 T. barbecue sauce (or to taste)
• 2 eggs
• more ketchup and barbecue sauce to spread over top before baking

What to do

1. Mix all ingredients together in a bowl.
2. Spread into loaf pan; patting down firmly to make an even loaf.
3. Mix together ketchup and barbecue sauce; spread over top meat loaf.
4. Bake for about an hour at 375° or until meat thermometer reads 160°.
5. Let sit about 5 minutes before serving.
6. I serve this with mashed potatoes and a veggie, but you can serve with whatever sides you like!!
