This is good meatloaf. I am still looking for the "perfect" one, but so far this one is pretty good!
1 lb ground beef
1 egg
1/2 c. breadcrumbs (or LESS oatmeal or ritz crackers)
1/4 c. worcestershire sauce (or less)
1/2 finely chopped onion
1/4 c. ketchup
Salt & Pepper. Season well.
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, combine all ingredients.
Shape mixture into a loaf.
Sprinkle top with additional worcestershire and ketchup.
Bake 1 hour.
Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
Extra tidbits:
There is quite a bit of fat that accumulates on the bottom of the pan. I have actually cooked this with bunched up foil on the bottom and then the meatloaf placed on top. It worked fairly well at allowing the fat to seperate. You might want to try it! We served this with potatoes and carrots...cooked seperately, but if you have a big enough pan, they should all fit in there!

I use the Italian style bread crumbs, everything needs a little garlic in our house, and I add a little shredded cheddar as well. Try adding a little ground pork, not sausage, to add richness. You can also hide veggies like shredded carrot or finely minced celery, which adds a nice flavor. I also saw somewhere to shape in mini loaves. So mine are like giant football shaped meatballs. The bake faster, and my kids like getting their own.
