Preparation
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees. Place all the ingredients for the meatloaf in a large mixing bowl. Using your hands, mix the ingredients gently until well combined being sure not to overhandle it, you don’t want to end up with tough meatloaf!
Place the meat into a baking dish and shape into a loaf. Some people place the meatloaf on top of sliced bread to catch all the grease but I look at that as a waste of bread! I mean that’s a sandwich or two for the kids right?
In a small bowl mix the ketchup, mustard and mayo. Spoon it out on top of the meatloaf. This will create a yummy crust on top, and you like this on your bacon cheeseburger right?
Bake at 375 for an hour and 10 minutes then allow to rest on the counter for 10 minutes before serving.
