Equipment

1 9x5 loaf pan
1 Bowl

Ingredients

1 lb ground beef or half ground sausage, half beef
1/2 cup Bread crumbs can use crushed crackers
1 large egg
1 packet onion soup mix

Instructions

Mix all 4 items together well, using your hands works best. Put in loaf pan and cook at 350 for about 25-30 minutes or until middle is the desired "doneness" for you.
If you cook it in a muffin pan check at around minute 12 to see how done they are.
If you'd like some bbq sauce on top, spoon or brush 1/4-1/2 cup sauce on top, increase temp to 400 for about 5 min. to brown and sort of caramelize.

Notes

Optional Add-ins

You could add other items into your 4 ingredient meatloaf if you wanted. I would say the best options would be 2 tbsp worcestershire sauce for bolder flavors, 2 tbsp minced onions, 1/2 cup grated carrots or chopped up mushrooms to add veggies. If you do add something else you may need a bit more breadcrumbs so it stays together in a loaf but bake time shouldn't change.
