I’ve made a lot of meatloaf, and honestly, I screw it up more often than I succeed. Gayle has been making this recipe for over 40 years and it’s still great. It has seen some changes over the years, and this is the latest version. Can’t beat it.

• 1lb ground beef
• ½lb ground pork
• ⅓cup dry bread crumbs
• 1tsp salt
• ¼tsp pepper
• 5tsp onion flakes (or small onion, chopped)
• 1½tsp Worcestershire sauce
• 2eggs
• French fried onions (optional topping)

Heat oven to 350°F.

In a large bowl combine all ingredients except meat and topping.

Add meat and mix well with a masher or your hands.

Press into greased 8 x 4-inch loaf pan. Top with topping.

Bake for 1 hour.

Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
