Family Favorite Meatloaf

One more meatloaf recipe, as requested by the former Mrs. Spurrier...

1 cup Whole Milk
2 lg Eggs
2 cps. crushed Ritz or Townhouse Crackers
3 lbs Ground Beef (I usually use a 3lb tube from Kroger)
1 rounded tsp Roast Meat Seasoning
1 rounded tsp Salt
3 rounded Tbls Catsup
1 med. Onion (chopped fine)


Warning: Prepare to get your hands yucky!

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together Milk and Eggs. Stir in crushed crackers, and let sit a few minutes to soften. In the meantime...

Place Ground Beef in a very large mixing bowl (I usually use a Tupperware bread dough bowl). Sprinkle seasonings evenly over the top. Distribute Catsup over the top of that. Sprinkle chopped Onion over that.

Spoon cracker crumb mixture over the top. Roll up your sleeves, and dig those hands in. Mix and knead by hand until thoroughly combined, with all ingredients evenly distributed.

Form into large loaf and place in greased 13 x 18 Pyrex baking dish or jelly roll pan. Bake at 350 about two hours.
