Quick Meat Loaf

Ingredients

• 0.3 teaspoon pepper black freshly ground
• 0.3 teaspoon pepper red crushed
• 3 tablespoons breadcrumbs dry
• 0.5 teaspoon mustard dry
• 1 large eggs lightly beaten
• 2 teaspoons garlic minced
• 0.3 cup green onions chopped
• 1 pound ground sirloin 
• 6 tablespoons catsup divided
• 0.1 teaspoon salt 

Equipment

• bowl
• oven
• broiler pan

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 40
2. Combine first 9 ingredients in a large bowl; add 1/4 cup ketchup.
3. Mix beef mixture with hands just until combined. Shape beef mixture into a 9 x 4inch loaf on a broiler pan coated with cooking spray.
4. Bake at 400 for 20 minutes.
5. Brush top of meat loaf with remaining 2 tablespoons ketchup.
6. Bake 7 additional minutes or until done. Slice loaf into 8 equal pieces.
7. Wine note: A value-priced cabernet or merlot, like Crane Lake Cabernet Sauvignon 2005 ($4), tends to be straightforward, lighter-bodied, and lower in tannins, ideal with the lean ground beef in this traditional baked meat loaf. --Jeffery Lindenmuth
