Simple Meatloaf

I decided to try to make a very basic meatloaf, one that I knew I couldn't mess up. I am so tired of loving my cooking and having to force the kids to eat. I think that this was just right. We had plain cheese ravioli with butter with this. I would recommend trying them as a side at your home too.

• Ready In: 1 hr 10 mins
• Serves: 12

Ingredients

• 1  lb ground beef
• 2  eggs
• 1  cup  dry Stove Top stuffing mix
• 1 -3  tablespoon milk, just add a little at a time
• 1⁄2 cup  very finely chopped onion
• 1⁄2 cup  very finely chopped celery
• 1⁄2 cup  pizza sauce or 1⁄2 cup ketchup
•  salt and pepper
• 3  dashes  steak sauce (for flavor)

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 325°F.
2. Crush or grind dry stuffing into bread crumbs, I used my food processor.
3. Pour crumbs into a large mixing bowl and add eggs, milk, salt and pepper, steak sauce.
4. Let stand for about 5 minutes.
5. Mix in meat, onions and celery.
6. Mix very well.
7. Transfer to a good baking pan, I use a small cast iron pot with a lid, pat down and cover with a lid or foil.
8. Bake for about 30-40 minutes.
9. Remove lid and top with sauce.
10. Return to oven and bake uncovered for 15 minutes longer.
11. I have to turn down the heat at this point so that it doesn't get too crunchy on the edges (225°F is warm enough).
12. Remove from oven and let stand for 5 minute.
13. Enjoy.
