Mom’s Meat Loaf

TOTAL TIME: Prep: 15 min. Bake: 1 hour + standing YIELD: 6 servings.
Mom made the best meat loaf, and now I do too. When I first met my husband, he wasn't a meat loaf guy, but this recipe won him over. —Michelle Beran, Claflin, Kansas

Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 3/4 cup 2% milk
  • 2/3 cup finely crushed saltines
