Meatloaf

MeatLoaf

Our family’s favorite meatloaf is straight from our old, well-used and well-loved Fannie Farmer Cookbook. We’ve made this recipe so many times we don’t even have to look up the page, because the book falls right open to it!

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups bread crumbs (the original recipe calls for freshly made, but we always just use panko bread crumbs)

  • 1 onion, finely chopped

  • 2 eggs

  • 2 pounds ground beef

  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

  • 1 1/2 teaspoons dry mustard

  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt

  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

  • 3/4 cup milk

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Combine all of the ingredients in a large bowl. Best way to mix it is with your hands! (Yes, the Fannie Farmer recipe even says this.) Pat it into a greased pan. The recipe says to use a loaf pan, but we prefer just shaping the meat into a loaf shape in a small baking pan. Bake for 45 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the meatloaf is 160 degrees. Enjoy!
