Southern Recipe for Meatloaf

Preheat oven to 375⁰F. Mix main ingredients thoroughly by hand. Place into a greased loaf pan or iron skillet.
1 lb ground beef, 1 Tbsp brown sugar, ½ tsp salt, ½ tsp garlic powder, ¼ tsp ground black pepper, 1 large egg, 1 slices bread, ¼ medium sweet onion
Bake at 375⁰ in center rack about 50 minutes. When using a small cast iron skillet, cover top with foil. For a loaf pan, leave it uncovered. If using the "Recipe Resizer", be prepared to add an additional 5-10 minutes per pound of ground beef added.
After initial baking time, drain the grease, add the mixed topping ingredients, and bake 10 more minutes uncovered. Meatloaf generally should be about 160°F internal temp.
4 Tbsp ketchup, ½ Tbsp brown sugar, ½ tsp Worcestershire Sauce
MUST let it rest for 10 minutes before cutting & drain any excess oils. Both reasons keep it holding together later. Then, cut and serve.
