2 lbs ground round

1 package onion soup mix

2 eggs

1 1/2 cup Italian style bread crumbs

1 small green pepper chopped

2 teaspoons minced garlic

Cobine ground round,onion soup mix,eggs bread crumbs,green pep,garlic and 1/2 the bread crumbs in med bowel,

shape into a oval or put it in a loaf pan,top with remaining BBQ sauce.Bake at 350 degrees for 1 houruntil cooked

through.If you like you add 1/2 cup chopped onion,to you mix if you like a little extra onion flavor,I also split it in the middle and add what ever kind off cheese you like then close it back up and put BBQ sauce on and bake.

The easziest; 2lbs. Hamburg/ground chuck etc. A pakage of Liptons onion soup mix and two eggs.    Spead ketchup on the top. Oven 325-350 (depending how hot oven heats).  Usually done in 1 hour. Cut in 1/2 for 1 lb.

Celtics, "recipezaar.com"  has an encyclopedia of cooking information and over 300,000 recipes.   

you can basically put anything in a meatloaf... tomatoes, ketchup, onion, peppers, mushrooms, anything you like the key is to make sure you use an egg a half pound and a sleeve of ritz crackers for every pound and kep an eye on the outside of the meatloaf when it is just krispy then its done.  It will come out perfect everytime.

This is my recipe for meatloaf.

1 1/2-2lbs of hamburg

salt and pepper

around a 1/4 cup of breadcrumbs

1 egg

little bit of milk or sometimes I use barbecue sauce

Mix all together and put into a 13x9 pan or even cookie shape into a loaf. After shaped into a loaf I spread some ketchup or barbecue sauce on top bake at 350 for 1 hour Mine always comes out so good

Good Luck

Easy is my middle name! Quaker Oats original meatloaf recipe is easy and the best I've ever tasted. I grew up with my mom using this recipe and now my adult kids say I make the best meatloaf to be found (if they only knew how easy it is) Make it using the exact measurements and you won't be disappointed. I double the recipe using lean ground beef and put a little sauce on top but it isn't necessary. I've tried the more "elegant" meatloaf recipes but none hold a candle to this one. Hope you enjoy it.

This may not be an "easy" recipe, but it is one my family loves.  And, believe me I have a picky crew.  I created this recipe earlier this year and it is flexible.  If you don't have one ingreient, you can sub another.  This ends up becoming a One-Pan meal, as the vegetables are cooked with it, on either side of the loaf.

2 lbs. ground beef

¾ cups dry bread crumbs OR QUAKER oatmeal

-Place carrots first, then potatoes around the meat loaf in the 9x13 pan. Drizzle the

oil lightly over the vegetables.

-Just before placing in the oven, pour hot water over and around the vegetables (not

on the meatloaf). Cover with foil.

-Bake for 1 hour. Pull out of oven, remove foil and brush meat loaf with barbeque

sauce. Put back in the oven, uncovered. Turn temperature up to 400* F. and continue

baking for 30 to 40 minutes, or until vegetables are done. Let stand 10 minutes before

serving.

NOTE: Because of the water and vegetables, the meatloaf will not dry out while cooking.

Hi - I don't see the recipe in your post - hope you'll let us know.  Thanks. 

Here I am again - I'm new at this.  I was trying to ask asapphire927 what the Quaker Oats original meatloaf recipe is.

get ground meat put it in a mixing bowl add bread crums and 2eggs if making a pound of meat season the with your normal stuff like pepper, meat tender,ect.. what ever you like you may add to the mix like onionis then you can put it in a lofa pan or if you want to make a big one get a baking sheet and mold the  meat in to the shape of a lofa.

Hmmm... I just went to the Quaker Oat site... and they had a few meatloaf recipes:

Here is the Classic Meatloaf recipe:

Ingredients
• 1-1/2  pounds lean ground beef or turkey
• 3/4  cup Quaker® Oats(quick or old fashioned, uncooked)
• 3/4  cup finely chopped onion
• 1/2  cup catsup
• 1  egg, lightly beaten
• 1  tablespoon Worcestershire sauce or soy sauce
• 2  cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2  teaspoon salt
• 1/4  teaspoon black pepper

Preparation

Heat oven to 350°F. Combine all ingredients in large bowl; mix lightly but thoroughly. Shape meatloaf mixture into 10x6-inch loaf on rack of broiler pan.

Bake 50 to 55 minutes or until meatloaf is to medium doneness (160°F for beef, 170°F for turkey), until not pink in center and juices show no pink color. Let stand 5 minutes before slicing. Cover and refrigerate leftovers promptly and use within 2 days, or wrap airtight and freeze up to 3 months.

I have found a fantastic and easy meatloaf that all my friends love. It is called the Bill Blass meatloaf:

Bill Blass Meatloaf

Sauté:  ½ cup chopped onion

            ½ cup chopped celery

            in 1 tablespoon of butter

Mix:      2 lbs ground sirloin or any ground beef. I have found ground round works best gives it more juice and doesn't dry out.           

           1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce

            ¾ cup bread crumbs

            ¼ cup sour cream

            Salt & pepper to taste

Combine all the above ingredients in a large mixing bowl and form into a meatloaf in a baking pan.

Pour one bottle of Chili Sauce (Nance’s is best of the store bought Chilli sauce. If you have home made that makes it even better) over the top and 3 strips of bacon on top. (Optional)

Bake 1 hour and 15 minutes at 350º - basting occasionally.

Serves 6 – can be kept about 1 week refrigerated.  Also freezes extremely well.

this is my moms recipe...so easy..

2 lbs hamburger

10-15 crackers

1 onion

1 bell pepper

salt

pepper

tomato sause

combine everything in a bowl.  Transfer to loaf pan. Top with extra tomato sause and salt/pepper.

Bake at 350 for approx. 1 hr to 1 1/2 hrs till done..Thats it!!

I have a FABULOUS meatlof recipe that my husband, who doesn't like meatloaf, LOVES.

Ingredients:

1 1/2 pounds of ground beef

1 small onion chopped

1 bread crumbs

1 cup of milk

1 egg

1/2-3/4 of a teaspoon of sage (I use the 3/4)

1 tsp of salt

1/2 tsp black pepper

Topping:

1/2 cup of ketschup

1/2 cup of packed brown sugar

1 teaspoon of dry mustard or prpeared yellow mustard

1/4-1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg

Pre heat your oven to 350

Mix all your meatloaf ingrdeients together well. I like to put into muffin tins for individual meatloaf muffins. Or you can put in a loaf pan. 

Mix together your sauce ingredients. Start with 1/4 tsp of nutmeg, then taste. You can add more nutmeg or more sugar for your personal taste.

If you decide to do meatlof muffins (which my family LOVES) bake for about 30 minutes. Once they are done baking, scoop each muffin out of the pan and set on a cooling rack that is on top of a baking sheet to let some of the excess beef fat drip off.

If using a laof pan, bake for an hour to an hour and a half (checking periodically to make sure meat loaf is no longer pink in the middle). Carefully pour excess grease out of the corner of the pan.

Good luck!

God bless,
