Sunday Dinner: Meatloaf

How about a comfort food Sunday dinner of meatloaf, baked potatoes (both russet and sweet potatoes), and grilled asparagus? I added a green salad on the side, and of course I roasted some onions along with the potatoes because I could not help myself. Yummmmm. grab a fork. It's so good!


CLASSIC MEAT LOAF

1 pound lean ground beef
1 medium onion, finely diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 eggs, beaten
1 cup dry breadcrumbs
½ cup plus ¼ cup ketchup, divided
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

Heat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, combine all ingredients except for final ¼ cup ketchup. Mix well. Form into a loaf shape and place in center of a 9x13-inch glass baking pan. Spread remaining ketchup on top of loaf.

Bake for approximately one hour. Remove from oven and let sit for 15 minutes before serving.
