1-1.5 lbs ground beef (can substitute the "Meatloaf Mix" of ground beef and pork some grocery stores sell)
2 eggs
1 cup plain bread crumbs
1/2-1 teaspoon worcestershire sauce (to taste)
1/2-1 teaspoon A-1 steak sauce (to taste)
1 tablespoon ketchup
1/2 cup ketchup
Preheat oven to 350f.
In a mixing bowl, crack and lightly beat 2 eggs. Add in the sauces and tablespoon of ketchup, and mix thoroughly. Gradually add bread crumbs until fully combined. Add in meat/meat mixture, and work together fully, avoiding clumps of bread crumb mixture.
Spray loaf pan lightly with cooking spray to prevent sticking (an important step if you use a draining loaf pan, like the Perfect Meatloaf Pan). Gently mold meat mixture into a loaf like shape that's an even thickness along it's length.
Bake for 1 hour. Check the loaf for doneness. Continue baking until no pink can be seen. Pull out of oven, and apply an even coat of the remaining ketchup on the top. Return to oven for another 5-10 minutes, or until ketchup turns into a glaze like substance and darkens.
Remove and serve.
Feeds roughly 4 people, depending on how thick you cut the slices, and if people want seconds.
Note from daughter: Out of my two meatloaf recipes, this is the one my mom likes. She looked at me funny when I pulled out the tin of bread crumbs, since she normally uses oats or bits of bread heels she's frozen, etc., but she actually liked this!
