I have been craving some meatloaf for a couple of weeks so I thought that I would cook it on my egg. I have never made meatloaf before and cooked it on the egg. ANyone have any good American Meatloaf recepes? Have no idea of how to do this without drying it out much less how do you get the Ketchup to stay on top?[p]Seems like years ago when I made this and cooked it in the oven I used beef and pork but just cannot remember.

    Zilm,
    This is the most incredible meatloaf I have ever had. Not exactly a simple recipe, but if you have been craving meatloaf that long, it is worth the effort.
    Cheers!

    I wouldn't worry too much about drying it out as long as you get a ground beef with a moderate fat content (around 20%). That's the key imho.[p]Personally I leave off the sauce. It gets in the way of the nice smokey flavor from the egg.

    A really easy recipe that I use to teach my kids to cook:
    2 lbs of 80% hamburger
    1 can of vegetable soup
    1 sleeve of soda crackers (crushed)
    1 egg
    Put in a 9X13 pan. You may top with ketchup or BBQ sauce.
    Bake at 350 degrees for about 1 hour.
    You can also put in muffin tins and bake for about 20 minutes.
