What are you waiting for?  Just follow these easy instructions and you too can start astonishing your guests with your down-home (but actually instant) cooking skills!

Instructions:

Simply gather the following ingredients (enough for 8 servings):

2 pounds ground beef
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 egg
1 can condensed tomato soup
1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon salt

Next follow these super-easy directions:

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees Farrenheit (180 degrees celsius).
Mix all ingredients in a bowl (stir it with a spoon!).
Transfer to a loaf tin (spoon it in, then press it down with the back of your spoon).
Place in oven and bake for about 1 hour 15 minutes.
Drain off any excess fat - and serve!

Serving Suggestions:

This meat loaf goes well with potatoes, corn and ketchup or barbeque sauce.

Also great with baked beans and fries or in a bun with ketchup.

Leftovers can easily be stored in the refrigerator and used in sandwiches the next day.

Hints:

For a healthier meatloaf, simply use the leanest beef you can find (or even ground turkey). Your guests will never know, but your meatloaf will be both healthy and delicious!
