Family Meatloaf - Real Recipes from Mums

A good old fashioned meatloaf which doesn't take long to whip up.

Ingredients (serves 6)

500 grams sausage mince
500 grams beef mince
2 onions, chopped
2 packets french onion soup mix
1 egg
squirt tomato sauce
herbs, salt and pepper
breadcrumbs

Method

Mix the meats together.
Add the onion and soup mix packets - mix again.
Add the sauce, eggs and herbs/seasoning. Mix well.
Coat in breadcrumbs.
Cook at 180 degrees for around 1 hour (covered or in an oven bag).

Notes

I often divide this into two meatloafs and free one (too much for our small family). You can also divide by four for even smaller servings. I serve with lots of veggies and gravy. You can also add chilli sauce for some zing and of course some grated veggies (I don't add veggies as I serve up with so many).

  Meatloaf is a budget family meal and it goes a long way in filling tummies.

This is a very easy way to do meat loaf. Looks moist not too dry.
