Best. Meatloaf. Ever.

We just got back from a Caribbean cruise, and we returned to near-blizzard conditions on Monday. (Boo!) The cruise was wonderful, and the food was amazing-but coming back left a little to be desired. So last night, I dug out my favorite meatloaf recipe to warm me up on a cold winter night. It’s simple, delicious, and the gravy is a snap-serve with mashed potatoes and veggies or on a sandwich-this meatloaf is comfort food at its finest.

2 lb. ground beef

1 can Cream of Mushroom soup (condensed)

1/2 c. dry bread crumbs

1 pouch dry onion soup and recipe mix (I use Campbell’s)

1 egg

Mix beef, 1/2 can of soup, bread crumbs, onion soup mix and egg. Shape into 4”x8” loaf pan. Bake at 350 for approximately 1 hour, 15 minutes or until done. 

Mix drippings from the meatloaf, the other 1/2 can of cream of mushroom soup, and 1/4 cup of water in a saucepan. Heat until warm; serve with meatloaf.
