first time meatloaf.

Meatloaf isn't something I grew up eating so its never been on my radar.  I decided to give it a try tonight and it turns out meatloaf isn't as nasty as it sounds.  Why couldn't it have a prettier sounding name though?  Tourtiere really got the better part of that deal.  This took about 5 minutes to prep - a really simple recipe.

Ingredients

1.5 lbs (about 0.65 kgs) extra lean ground beef (or ground chicken)

1 package onion soup mix

1/2 onion, diced (I didn't put this in but wish I had)

1 egg

1/2 c bread crumbs

3/4 c milk

pepper to taste

3 tbsp brown sugar

1/3 cup ketchup

Method
Mix everything except brown sugar and ketchup together in stand mixer. Transfer to loaf pan. Mix remaining ingredients together and pour on top.  Cook at 350 for 1 hr 10 minutes or until no longer pink on the inside.  Serve with a salad to counteract the meatiness.
