• ½ Cup Harvest Cheddar SunChips Crumbs, ground like breadcrumbs

easy meatloaf recipe directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Finely mince your onions. Combine with butter in a sauté pan and cook until the onions are tender.
3. In a mixing bowl combine the ground beef, egg, SunChip crumbs, sauteed onions, and butter. Season with salt and pepper. Mix together until evenly combined (use your hands ideally).
4. Form the meat mixture into a loaf and place in a loaf pan. Place the loaf pan on a cookie sheet to catch any juices that might leak while cooking.
5. Top the meatloaf with ketchup and a few dashes of hot sauce. Place in the oven to bake for 1 hour, or until the internal temperature of the loaf is 160 degrees.
6. Let rest 10 minutes before slicing. Serve hot.

easy meatloaf recipe tips and tricks

• This is a great make-ahead meal. To save it for another night, let the loaf cool to room temperature after baking the entire hour. Then, store it in the refrigerator. When you are ready to enjoy the meatloaf, pop it into a 400-degree oven for 10-15 minutes just before service.
