I am 20 just recently got married, so the whole cooking thing is still new to me. My husband is a picky eater! He said he likes meatloaf, but I'm not sure how to make it. He doesn't like mushrooms and onions and all that stuff so, pretty much, which is the easy way to make meatloaf?
Answer
There are a lot of meatloaf recipes out there but basically it is meat with a binder (egg &/or breadcrumbs &/or crackers &/or cheese), some seasonings and maybe some veggies (celery, carrots) - then you bake it in the oven.
One hit I will give you is that you should lower fat meat so you don't have it sitting in a pool of grease.
Meatloaf Recipe
1 lb. hamburger
1 egg
1 pkg. saltines (crushed) ½ tsp. salt & pepper
1 clove of garlic (minced) 1 rib of celery (chopped)
dash of Worcestershire sauce ½ cup ketchup
Mix all ingredients and shape into a loaf.
Bake at 350 for 1 hour.
Drain out fat and put back in for 10 minutes.
Remove from oven and let stand for 15 minutes
before slicing,then serve.
You can make a brown gravy to pour on it
or you can have ketchup instead.

Here is something a bit different:
Turkey Meatloaf Muffins with Mushroom Sauce
by Michael Bonacini
An entree for the discriminating palette
3 cups ground turkey breast
2 cloves garlic, finely minced
1 medium Spanish onion, finely diced
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
1/4 tsp freshly chopped thyme
1 whole egg, lightly beaten
1/4 cup milk
1/2 cup bread crumbs
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
Splash of vegetable oil
Salt and pepper to taste
1. In a small frying pan over medium high heat, gently cook the diced onion and garlic in a splash of vegetable oil until soft and tender, about four or five minutes. Once cooked remove from heat and allow to cool.
2. In a large mixing bowl, place the ground turkey, egg, milk and breadcrumbs. Season well with salt and pepper.
3. Add the cooked and cooled onion and garlic, followed by the Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce and mix thoroughly. You may wish to fry a little of the mixture up in the pan to taste and check for seasoning.
4. Once satisfied that the seasoning is correct, divide the mixture into six or eight muffin piece sizes and place into a lightly oiled muffin pan. Bake in a pre-heated oven at 350F to 375F degrees for approximately 35 to 40 minutes.
5. Serves 6 to 8.
Mushroom Sauce
2 cups mushrooms of your choice, sliced and diced
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup Madera (a type of wine)
1 tbsp butter
Splash of olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
1. In a frying pan over medium-high heat, begin to sauté the mushrooms in a splash of olive oil, stirring and seasoning with salt and pepper.
2. Once the mushrooms begin to soften, add Madera and reduce by half.
3. Add the chicken broth and reduce by half.
4. Remove from heat, add the butter to enrich your sauce and serve.

Answer
First is to determine how many folks you are cooking for.
If it is a typical family of four deal, I can recommend the following as a "base" recipe, which will also give you some leftovers, or good for roughly 6;
2.5 lbs. of good ground beef (not leanest ground)
1.5 lbs. of good ground pork
2 medium onions, diced or processed finely
3 good stalks of celery, diced, processed finely (with above)
2 med. carrots-diced/minced (with above)
1 green pepper-diced/minced (with above)
2 eggs
1/2 cup half and half
1.5 cups Italian bread crumbs
quick seasonings mix-use Italian blend-2-3 tablespoons
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1 jar/can of good spaghetti sauce or make scratch same qty.
Saute minced veggies in bacon fat or vegetable oil until soft and lightly browned. Add to meat, mix with all other ingredients, (reserve the half of the sauce for topping while cooking)-WELL. You may want to add some breadcrumbs if mixture is TOO mushy-remember it will cook down and firm up. Cook at 350 for about 1 hour in a loaf pan-halfway through top with the rest of the tomato sauce.
