Meatloaf

• 2 ½ lbs ground beef

  1 lg egg

  3 T half and half

  2 tsp horseradish

  1 C ketchup

  1 T mustard

  1 tsp black pepper

  1 T minced fresh garlic

  ½ C finely diced celery (one stalk)

  ½ C finely diced onion (¼ onion)

  ½ C finely diced green pepper

  1 ½ C plain bread crumbs (or one sleeve of crackers, crushed)

  
  

  Preheat your oven to 375°F.

  
  

  In a large bowl, mix together the ground beef, half and half, an egg, and the seasonings. Spray your hands with vegetable cooking spray and get right in there, mixing your meatloaf up well.

  
  

  Now add in the rest of your ingredients and mix them up very well.

  
  

  Shape your meat mixture into a loaf and place it onto a baking pan that you have sprayed with vegetable cooking spray. Be sure to smooth out the top part of the loaf with your hands. You can choose either to dome the top part or make it flat, whatever your preference is. After it's smoothed or domed, spread the ketchup over the outside.

  
  

  Bake for about 45 minutes or until your meatloaf reaches an internal temperature of 160°F in its center at the thickest part. Allow it to cool slightly before you slice and serve.
