Aunt Cathy's Meat Loaf

Many years ago, my sister shared with me her delicious meat loaf recipe and I wanted to share it with you. We had it for dinner last night with mashed potatoes (guess I need to share how to make yummy mashed potatoes, too). It was delicious--I love to eat my meatloaf with mashed potatoes. Take a piece of meat loaf and scoop it in the potatoes--my mouth is watering again!

Enjoy!

Aunt Cathy's Meat Loaf

2 pounds ground beef (I use the lean 93-7)

1 medium onion chopped

1 cup bread crumbs (I use Italian Style)

2 eggs

1/2 cup ketchup

1 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon pepper

Topping:

1 1/2 tablespoons brown sugar

1/4 cup ketchup

1/8 teaspoon nutmeg

1/2 teaspoon dry mustard

**You can double the topping recipe if you like more topping. The original recipe was doubled.

Preheat oven to 350. Combine all ingredients in a large bowl. Mix well. Put in a loaf pan and spoon topping on top. Bake uncovered for 1 hour.
