This is the meatloaf my mom made as I was growing up, and I carried the recipe with me into marriage. It is very moist and flavorful, and hands down the best meatloaf I have ever tasted! Incidentally, this is the same recipe I use for making hamburger patties, and just form them into hamburgers rather than putting in a casserole pan for meatloaf.
Pictured below are all the ingredients needed to make Bonita's Meatloaf. However, as with many great recipes, I don't know exact amounts. So if you like to be exact with your measurements, you're going to have a hard time with this one!
Hamburger (pictured is 2 lbs)
1 egg
dry oats (for oatmeal, but not the little packages of one serving instant oatmeal)
milk
1 pkg dry onion soup mix
ketchup
Mix hamburger, dry onion soup mix, and egg in bowl. Add a small amount of milk, several squirts of ketchup, and start with about a 1/2 cup oats. Mix with hands. Mixture should be very moist. If it's too dry, add more milk and ketchup. If it's too moist, add a bit more oats.
Bake at 350 for one hour. Check for doneness and bake longer if it's not thoroughly cooked. When I use 2 pounds of meat or more I usually have to bake for a bit longer than one hour.
A favorite of the whole family! Thanks Bonita/mom!
