I don't put a lot of ketchup in my meatloaf either. Here's my recipe but this is very very very by feel and that's hard to measure.


1 lb ground hamburger (the leaner the better)
2 eggs
1/2 - 1 C bread crumbs (Italian are grand) [or saltines]
1/2 C Parmesan cheese
1 C corn, drained
1 TB Mustard
1 TB Catsup
2 TB Garlic Powder
2 TB Tony Cachere's Cajun Seasoning
1 TB Worcestershire Sauce

Preheat oven to 350.

Mix everything together except the corn (this is because you will squish the poor little corn kernels otherwise). This needs to have a doughy consistency (you know...like a LOAF). Then put in the corn (for a zippy alternative, try a can of Ro-Tel tomatoes. You will have to increase the bread crumbs) .

Shape into a loaf in a loaf pan. Bake for 55 minutes. Test for doneness.

The worst thing in this world is dried out meatloaf. NASTY! But you do want the edges to crisp up so you have that texture.

My fave thing is meatloaf sandwiches the next day. OM
