Meatloaf!

My family has been enjoying meatloaf sandwiches on dinner rolls with sweet pickles and mustard.

For every Pound of 80/20 or 85/15 ground meat, Combine:

1 cup of bread crumbs, 1/2 cup of finely ground oats if you are Gluten free
1/2-1 large onion, diced
1 egg
1 T. Mustard
3-4 T. Ketchup
5 dashes Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp. sea salt
1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
1 T. dried parsley (optional)

Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. In a large bowl, combine all ingredients by hand. Transfer to a greased baking dish and form into a loaf. Bake for 45-55 minutes. Add 15 minutes for every 1/2 pound extra over 1 pound.

To make your own bread crumbs, I use the end pieces of a loaf and blitz them in the food processor, then I spread them out on a cookie sheet and bake at 200 for 30 minutes.
