Not your typical Meatloaf Recipe

Not sure why I'm posting this, but it's a recipe that is so easy with ingredients I always have on hand anyway. I've never been a fan of meatloaf but this one is actually pretty good. My kids love this stuff so just thought I'd share it:

2 slices whole wheat bread-toasted and cubed
1 egg, slightly beaten
medium onion, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, chopped
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 T parsley flakes
1 T dijon mustard
2 t worcestershire
1/2 t salt
1/4 t pepper
1 lb. lean ground beef
1/2 cup ketchup

Saute onion and garlic in 1 T olive oil until tender. Cool. Mix egg, onion & garlic, milk, parmesan, parsley, mustard, worcestershire, salt & pepper, and bread cubes. Mix well.

Crumble beef over mixture and mix together.

Spray 13x9 glass dish with nonstick spray. Form meat into loaf 2-3 inches high. Pour ketchup over loaf and spread evenly.

bake 1 hr, 15mins at 325.

That's it! It really is surprisingly good!

Meatloaf was one of Michael's favorite meals as a little boy. We had it almost once a week. Spaghetti was the other most frequently requested item.
