Favorite Meatloaf

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon celery salt

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

1 tablespoon prepared mustard

1/2 cup barbecue sauce

2 eggs

Spread mixture into an ungreased loaf pan or form into a loaf and place on a broiler pan.

Top with Glaze (optional):

Mix well; brush on top of meatloaf before baking.

Bake at 350 degrees for 60-75 minutes or until well done. (Meat thermometer should read 160 degrees)

STEP-BY-STEP

 Into a large bowl, place 1-1/2 pounds of ground beef. ( I like to use beef with a very low fat content.)

 Tear 3 pieces of bread into bite-size pieces

 Add 1 cup milk and allow the bread to soak it up while you add the remaining ingredients.

 1/4 cup minced onion

 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

 1/2 teaspoon salt

 1/4 teaspoon celery salt

 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

 1 tablespoon prepared mustard

 1/2 cup barbecue sauce

 2 eggs and 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce (not pictured)

 Mix all ingredients together until well incorporated. (I use my hands so I can really get in there and work everything together.)  Spread the mixture into an ungreased loaf pan or form it into a loaf and place it on a broiler pan.

Using the same bowl you used to make the meatloaf in, make the glaze by mixing 1/2 cup ketchup

 with 1 tablespoon light corn syrup

 Brush evenly over the top of the meatloaf.

Bake at 350 degrees for 60-75 minutes or until well done.
