Mom's Meatloaf

I call this Mom's Meatloaf for the obvious reason, I got this recipe from my Mom. It's super quick & easy. Of course, it also tastes delicious. Meatloaf is neither mine or my boyfriends favorite dish. We both discuss how much we do not care for meatloaf, yet every time we eat it - our feelings change. It's a never-ending process. I chose to make this dish b/c I had hamburger meat that needed to be eaten soon & nothing else in the kitchen to make w/ it. Spaghetti was my first choice, but I had no sauce. Mom's Meatloaf 1-2 lbs ground beef 1 wet piece of bread 1/4 - 1/2 pkg crackers 1-2 tbsp minced onions 1/4-1/2 cup ketchup 1 egg Combine ingredients in a bowl, mix well. Place & form in a loaf pan. Drizzle on extra ketchup if desired. Bake at 350 for one hour. I also added a sprinkle of garlic salt & Goya Seasoning to the mix. To go w/ the meatloaf I made a box of Scalloped Potatoes (the white sour cream [& onion?] kind) & a can of corn. I was so upset, b/c I already had the potato package opened when I realized I had enough potatoes to make homemade scalloped potatoes. Those would have been SO delicious. The box kind is still very good, and a very quick fix. I make sure to keep a few boxes of those, along w/ a few boxes of Mac & Cheese in the pantry at all times.
