Question

Can anybody tell me how to make a easy meatloaf for about 8people ??

Answer 1

1 lb of ground beef

1 cup of crushed crackers or breadcrumbs

1 egg

seasonings (herbs, 1/2 tsp of pepper, salt, etc)

1/2 cup diced onion (optional)

1/2 cup mushrooms (optional)

1/4 cup shredded cheese (optional)

smush all the ingredients together (this is the fun part :) )

form into a loaf and place in a baking dish or use a loaf pan

bake at 350 degrees for an hour

let cool for five minutes before slicing

Serves about four, so double the recipe.

If you use a loaf pan you can use ground turkey instead of beef, but the turkey won't hold together well enough to make a free-standing "loaf" of its own.

Answer 2

Use the onion soup mix recipe - its something  like this.  

2 or 3 pounds of Ground Sirloin or Ground Chuck (something lean or else your meatloaf will shrink).  Onion Soup mix, 2 beaten eggs, italian bread crumbs, fresh diced onion and/ or green pepper,  Mix together, put in loaf pan and bake.  

Answer 3

this recipe is simple and easy to make. the serving size is 8, so it will be perfect for you. it has a ton of flavor, which many meatloaf recipes lack.

Answer 5

Onion soup mix?  Are you kidding?  

This is the only recipe that you will ever need for meat loaf:

http://www.quakeroats.com/qfb_recipes/re...

It used to be printed on the Quaker Oatmeal carton.  The best thing about this recipe is that everyone likes it and it works picture-perfect, just like the picture they show you at the Quaker Oats web site, every single time.

For eight people you better make two loaves.  Add yourself a huge pile of mashed potatoes (five pounds -- use Yukon Gold) and provide lots of sauces (Heinz 57, A-1, salsa, and ketchup) for people to smother their meat loaf with.

Answer 6

2 lbs of ground beef.

one can of tomato sauce.

Two eggs

Oregano

Salt

Pepper

Mix together and place in greased loaf pan (I use margarine to grease) - put in the oven at 375 and cook for an hour to 70 minutes. I also like to put some mozarella cheese on top.
