Abs Favorite Recipes

After I first got married back in 2003 I started my search for a meat loaf recipe that was easy and tasted good. I tried quite a few before I found this one. Its my go too meat loaf for sure. I have even used this recipe to make meatballs which turned out great as well.

• 1-1/2 lbs lean ground beef
• 1 cup milk
• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tsp chopped fresh or 1/4 tsp dried sage leaves
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp ground mustard
• 1/4 tsp pepper
• 1 clove garlic finely chopped, or 1/8 tsp garlic powder
• 1 large egg
• 1/2 cup bread crumbs
• 1/4 cup chopped onion
• 1/2 cup ketchup, chili sauce or barbecue sauce

1. Heat oven to 350
2. Mix all ingredients except ketchup. Spread mixture in ungreased loaf pan or whatever you want to cook it in. Spread ketchup over top.

I mix all the ingredients together in my kitchen aid mixer so every thing gets mixed together well. I also tend to use dried minced onion because my family is not big on onion. It adds to the flavor but does not have bits of onion in it. I don’t measure how much just sprinkle some in. This is also a great recipe to make a head and then just take it out of the fridge and cook when your ready.
