Best Meatloaf EVER

Just in case this is in violation of copyright or something... this is from The Better Homes and Gardens New Cook Book.

Prep: 20 minutes
Bake: 70 minutes
oven: 350 degrees
stand: 10 minutes
Makes 8 servings

2 eggs, beaten
3/4 C milk
2/3 C fine dry bread crumbs or 2 cups soft bread crumbs (about 2 1/2 slices) *I prefer the dry seasoned crumbs*
1/4 C finely chopped onion
2 tbs snipped fresh parsley *I use about 2 tsp of the dried stuff and it works just fine*
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp dried leaf sage, basil, or oregano, crushed *I like using sage*
1/8 tsp black pepper
1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef, ground lamb, or ground pork

Sauce:
1/4 cup ketchup
2 tbs packed brown sugar
1 tsp dry mustard
*I like to 1 1/2 the sauce (actually, Husband likes it when I 1 1/2 the sauce)*

1. In a medium bowl combine eggs and milk; stir in bread crumbs, onion, parsley, salt, sage, and pepper. Add ground meat; mix well. Lightly pat mixture into an 8x4x2-inch loaf pan.

2. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 1 to 1 1/4 hours or until internal temperatures 160 degrees on an instant-read thermometer. Spoon off fat. In a small bowl combine ketchup, brown sugar and mustard; spread over meat. Bake for 10 minutes more. Let stand for 10 minutes before cutting into 8 slices. (You can eat it right out of the oven, but don't hold me accountable.)

Enjoy!
