Magical Meatloaf

I thawed out some ground beef the other day and told my brother to figure out what he wants to do with it. He replied, "Let's make meatloaf." To which I shockingly replied, "Meatloaf?! Seriously? OK."  But I wasn't going to make it myself, so instead I taught him how to make it.

We started with 1 pound of ground beef in a large mixing bowl. We added some seasoning salt, garlic powder, ground pepper, Worcestershire sauce, 2 eggs, about 1/2 cup of bread crumbs, and a small can of V8 juice. Next, the fun part - mashing it all together with your hands (or a wooden spoon). He then lightly sprayed a glass baking dish with olive oil and formed a large loaf in the middle of the dish, sprinkled it up with a little salt and threw it in the oven at 375 degrees for about 45 minutes.  In the last 5 minutes, he topped it off with some spaghetti sauce (a simple tomato and basil blend), and some mozzarella cheese until heated and melted.

We must admit, it was the best tasting meatloaf we have ever had...hence the name Magical Meatloaf. Cooking with whatever ingredients you have in the house isn't always as hard as it seems.  This loaf was enough to feed a family of 5, but now we have left-overs for a few days.  Easy-peezy!
