About This Recipe
"This is an easy blend that I came up with after looking at a few different recipes. It just happened to please my family; I'm posting it here so I won't lose it, lol. They tend to like foods fairly bland and boring. I didn't measure to see how many cups of bread crumbs I got, as I kept crumbling slices of toast until it looked right. And the beef broth was my own homemade, still gelled from being in the fridge; I don't know if canned would be different."
Ingredients
- 2 1/4 lbs ground beef ( I used 85% lean)
- 1 1/2 cups dry breadcrumbs ( I used about 10 slices of dry toast)
- 2 eggs
- 0.5 (1 ounce) package onion soup mix ( try to get about half the powder and half the dried onion flakes)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/3 cup ketchup
- 1 cup beef broth
Directions
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Spray baking sheet with nonstick spray. Set aside.
- Crumble beef into large mixing bowl.
- Add all other ingredients and mix well with hands.
- Shape into two oblong loaves.
- Place on baking sheet.
- Bake in preheated oven until at least 160F inside.
- We like ours well done; after 80 minutes it was 180F and perfect.
- Let rest 5 minutes before serving.

"When I read this recipe I knew we would love it because of its simplicity. The flavors were just excellent. I used the full package of the onion soup mix, 1/2 tsp of garlic powder and 1/2 cup of the beef broth. I believe I added an additional 1/2 cup of the breadcrumbs after adding the broth as I thought the mixture was too wet. I baked 1/2 of the meat loaf and froze the other half for another time. thanks for sharing. Made for Fall 2011 PAC"

"Thanks to Best of 2011 Cookbook Official Game I picked this recipe to try.
I chose to use ground turkey for this and I cut back on the bread.
What I realy loved about this dish is I was able to make a great meal in our toaster oven!
The flavors are really good."
