This Recipe Was My Among My Dad’s Favorite, Now I Know Why.
Can't Resist a Great Meatloaf
When I Heard How Famous This Meatloaf Was I Thought They Were Kidding!
I was going through several Pinterest sites when I saw the recipe for what looks like the same recipe my mom used to make. She mixed the egg, cracker crumbs, and diced onion together with her clean hands, then sprinkle with the salt, pepper, and onion powder and roll into a big ball. After being placed into a shallow baking dish it was lovingly formed it into a perfect loaf.
Before putting it in the oven, she would cover the top with her ketchup based sauce to help keep the moisture in and add flavor while it cooked. She never needed the recipe because she knew it from heart.
Mom usually made a Jell-O salad and mashed potatoes to go with it. When she sliced it to serve it up, the juices just ran onto the plate. I always love meatloaf as a kid because I knew the next day my mom would pack us meatloaf sandwiches. Even cold, her meatloaf tasted incredible. Yumm-O! As an adult, I am all about the sandwiches! I think that was the part my dad liked the best.
