Meatloaf

2lbs ground beef(go with lean)
1 small onion, finely chopped
1/2C Ketchup, I use Heinz
2TBS brown sugar
1/2tsp dry mustard(or 2 tsp regular mustard)
1TBS Worcestershire Sauce
1tsp salt
1/4tsp black pepper
1 egg
1C seasoned bread crumbs

Preheat oven to 350. Place all ingredients in bowl and combine with hands(it really works best that way). Shape into loaf pan and bake 1 hour.

Mashed Potatoes
2lbs yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
2tsp salt, additional to taste
1/4tsp pepper
5TBS butter, cut into pieces, additional to taste
1C heavy cream or whole milk...I go with the cream

Place potatoes in large pot with 1tsp salt and enough water to cover. Cook over high heat until potatoes are very tender, 20-30 minutes.
Drain potatoes. Add butter, cream and remaining salt and pepper. Beat, mash, whip rice until fluffy and yummy. Season to taste.

The green beans were canned because I was feeling lazy.

Completely yummy lump of meat. I suggest doubling the potatoes because we eat a ton here. Leftover meatloaf makes a very delicious sandwich.
