Old-Fashioned, Simple Meatloaf

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 350.

2. 2

   Crumble ground beef into a bowl and salt and pepper it to taste.

3. 3

   Add the diced onion, egg, 1/8 to 1/4 of a cup of the tomato sauce, and the saltine crackers. Start with a few saltines at a time and continue adding until you get the desired firm, but moist consistency.

4. 4

   Getting it too firm will keep it from being moist.

5. 5

   Form into a loaf, place in a baking dish with a lid, then top with enough tomato sauce to cover the top and sides of the loaf.

6. 6

   Cover, and bake in a 350 degree oven for 45 minutes to 1 hour.

7. 7

   Baking time will vary depending on your oven.
