Grandma's Prize-Winning Meatloaf Recipe Has Braggin' Rights by Donna John
Prize winning. That's what my grandma wrote on her recipe card for this old-fashioned meatloaf recipe. What prize I'm not sure, but if my grandma said so, it must be true (the woman could cook!). This moist meatloaf was a staple at her house and much loved by the whole family.
The easy meatloaf recipe has simple ingredients: tomato juice, oatmeal, an egg, chopped onion, ground beef, salt and black pepper. The ingredients are combined, put into a loaf pan and baked for about one hour or until cooked through.
Serve this ground beef meatloaf recipe with mashed potatoes and your favorite vegetable. Use the leftover meatloaf to make meatloaf sandwiches or crumble it into spaghetti sauce.
