My Mom's Meatloaf

1 lb ground round
1/2 cup crushed crackers or oatmeal
1 egg
3/4 cup ketchup
1 Tbsp mustard
dash pepper
1 small onion
2 pieces celery
1/2 clove garlic or 1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 green pepper

*Chop veggies.
*Mix all together.
*Bake in loaf pan 350 for 45-60 min.

Notes:
I ate and loved this recipe growing up. Since then, I have found a couple other recipes I like too, but this one is still very good to me.
This recipe can also be used to make meatballs--just shape them into meatballs, and bake in a casserole dish or cook on stovetop. Drain grease. You can add a can of cream of mushroom or celery soup or a can of beef gravy for sauce.
You can also lower the temp of this recipe to 250 and cook longer-like to go to church.

Turkey Meatloaf

2 lb ground turkey
1 cup milk
1 cup italian bread crumbs
2 eggs
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
3/4 lb colby cheese, cut into cubes
1/2 cup ketchup

*Mix everything except salt and pepper.
*Season on top.
*Bake in loaf pan 1 hour on 400. (Internal temp 180)

Notes:
This is not the only meatloaf recipe I make, but I like using it b/c the turkey is so lean. This means that after baking, the loaf is not sitting in a vat of fat that has cooked out. Also...If you make this you don't HAVE to have colby cheese. The first time I used torn up american slices, the second time I used shredded cheddar.
