How to Make Meat Loaf

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

In a mixer, combine 2 pounds of hamburger, diced onion, 2/3 cup milk, 3 tablespoons brown sugar, 4 tablespoons onion soup mix, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, salt, dried parsley, 1 tablespoon yellow mustard, 1 egg, and 2 cups oatmeal bread crumbs or crushed crackers.

Mix all ingredients until well combined.

Transfer the mixture into a loaf pan placed in a shallow baking dish to catch any grease.

Spread 1/4 cup ketchup over the top of the meatloaf.

Optionally, layer raw pieces of bacon across the top.

Bake in the oven for 1 hour and 10 minutes, checking the center for doneness.

If there is excess grease, drain some off before serving.
