I remember as a kid I used to hate meatloaf night!  I wasn’t a big fan of the traditional ketchup sauce meatloaf, just so blah.  So, when I am making dinner for my own kids, I am all about jazzing it up so dinner doesn’t become something they dread!

Ingredients:

1 lb lean ground beef

2/3 cup milk

1/3 cup salsa

1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

1/2 tsp ground mustard

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp pepper

1 garlic clove – minced

1 egg

1/2 cup bread crumbs

1 small onion – diced

1/2 cup shredded extra sharp cheddar cheese

First, preheat the oven to 350 degrees.  Next, in a large bowl, add the meat along with the other ingredients.

Mix all the ingredients up well.

Spray a large loaf pan with cooking spray and pour the meat mixture into it, spreading it evenly.

Bake the meatloaf dish for 60-70 minutes at 350 degrees or until the meat has cooked through to a temperature of 160 degrees.

Once meat has cooked through, remove from oven and allow to sit for 5 minutes before cutting and serving.  You can serve it with a little extra salsa on top, or just as is with some mashed potatoes and veggies!

Leftover meat loaf can be sliced into individual servings, placed in resealable plastic bags and stored in the freezer for dinner another night!
