directions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  • Crush the crackers. I use the food processor for this to get finer crumbs.
  • Mix the meat, soup, and egg together with the seasonings.
  • Add cracker crumbs until the texture is firm but not dry.
  • Press the meatloaf mixture into a loaf pan.
  • Bake until done (160°F on the meat thermometer), which takes about an hour.
  • Muffin variation: Divide meatloaf mixture into 6 even portions.
  • Press into large size muffin tin that has been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray.
  • If adding a sauce, form a well in the top of each muffin to hold the sauce.
  • Check baking time carefully, as the smaller size allows the dish to bake more quickly. I have found that baking time is reduced to about 35 minutes in this form.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I'm a Christian, a photographer, a substitute teacher, chief cook and bottle-washer, a volunteer 4-H leader, a regular blood donor, an auntie, a sister, and a daughter. I try to cook good, nutritious food and to encourage my nephews and nieces to develop good eating habits. I am developing better eating habits myself.I love to take pictures of my kiddos, and I love to work with them on their 4-H projects. I just finished making a Halloween costume for the son of a friend who broke her hand and could not sew. There are many other things about me, but there just isn't space to put them all.
