Meatloaf

Family Favorite!  Serve with mashed potatoes, monkey bread rolls, peas or green beans, and applesauce.
This seems to be an American food.  We didn't see it on offer in Europe at restaurants.  They would serve stew for comfort food.  Grandma Honey was famous for her meatloaf.  Leftovers are good sliced thin and made into a sandwich.  Or heat and slice and pour gravy over top.
Now there are various ways to make great meatloaf.  For instance, some stores sell a blend of beef, pork and veal called Meatloaf Mix, which seems ground finer than regular ground beef and is great.  But plain beef works fine too.  I wouldn't get the 80% lean as it will end up cooked in a pool of grease.
1 1/2 lbs beef or mixed ground meat.  I often do half beef and half venison.
3/4 cup oatmeal or bread crumbs mixed with 1 cup milk
1 egg
1 small onion fried with 1 minced garlic clove
1 Tbl Worcestershire sauce
1 Tbl Adobo con cumin
1/4 tsp Sage
1/4 tsp black pepper
Pour ketchup or BBQ sauce over the top.  You may want to cut a long slice along the top of the loaf so it cooks evenly.
Mix all ingredients and mound in a loaf pan.  Cook at 350 degrees F for 75-90 minutes.
