BASIC MEATLOAF (SOUTHERN STYLE)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°.
• Mix ground beef, salt, pepper, eggs, bread crumbs, milk, Worcestershire, onion, thyme, and rosemary. (I whisk dried ingredients and pour over hamburger and fold together lightly, first. Then I add wet ingredients and incorporate together really well. I usually add less milk or add extra bread crumbs to preferred consistency).
• Pack into a lightly greased loaf pan or form into a loaf and place on a lightly greased baking sheet with sides, such as a jelly roll pan. (I form into a loaf in a 9 X 13 pyrex baking dish).
• Top meatloaf with sliced bacon, or your choice of ketchup or barbecue sauce.
• Bake at 350° for 1 1/2 - 1 3/4 hours, or till 170 to 180 degrees.
• Dianna suggests serving meatloaf with heated tomato sauce or gravy. (I suggest serving with garlic mashed potatoes and mixed vegetables for a comfort style meal).
