How do I make a classic meatloaf

Sure thing! Here are four different ways to make a classic meatloaf:

1. **Basic Recipe**: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a bowl, mix 1 pound of ground beef, 1 cup of breadcrumbs, 1/2 cup of milk, 1/2 cup of chopped onion, 1 egg, and some salt and pepper. Shape it into a loaf and place it in a baking dish. Top with ketchup or a mix of ketchup and brown sugar for a glaze. Bake for about 1 hour, and you’re good to go!

2. **With Veggies**: For a little twist, add some grated carrots and chopped bell peppers to your meat mixture. It’ll add flavor and moisture! Just mix everything together like the basic recipe, shape it, glaze it, and bake at 350°F for about an hour.

3. **BBQ Style**: If you’re a fan of BBQ, mix in some barbecue sauce into the meat mixture and use it as a glaze on top too. Just combine 1 pound of ground beef, 1 cup of breadcrumbs, 1/2 cup of diced onion, 1 egg, and about 1/2 cup of BBQ sauce. Bake it at 350°F for an hour and enjoy that smoky flavor!
