There was a request on twitter last week from @mudrock looking for a great meatloaf recipe. I knew I had the best recipe but was reluctant to share it.

My husband makes the best meatloaf out of a recipe handed down from his ex-girlfriend’s mother. It isn’t written down, he does it from memory each time he makes it. Meatloaf is his thing, the way devilled eggs or pulled pork is mine.

I don’t want to take it away from him, but I also don’t want to end up on meatloaf duty once I know the secret recipe. So, I struggled. Then I broke down, how could I keep this amazing meatloaf from the world?

After much drama, here it is. Before you make it though, be sure to check out this Kids in the Hall skit about a meatloaf that has fallen from grace.

The Best Meatloaf Ever (via Rilla Rutherford)

Ingredients

1 lb ground beef

1 lb ground pork

1 can mushroom soup

1 large onion chopped fine

2 eggs

1 cup bread crumbs

salt

pepper

a few shakes of Worcestershire

Steps

1. Mix everything together and shape into a loaf. This makes a fairly large meatloaf, enough for a family of 4 with leftovers for meatloaf sandwiches the next day.
2. Put in oven at 350 for 2 hours.
3. After 1st hour, brush with some ketchup mixed with a little soy sauce.
