This juicy meatloaf recipe is one my mother used to make. I suspect she used vegetable soup because it is what she had in the cupboard at the time. There were six children, so my mom and dad had to find inventive ways to make ends meet.

I can hear everyone saying "Dad?" Yes. My dad did his part, he brought home large bags of onions and potatoes. To this day I love potatoes and onions sauteed together. Actually this is a great side for this meatloaf.

Ingredients

1 can Campbells Vegetable Soup
2 pounds ground beef
2 eggs
2/3 cup prepared seasoned bread crumbs
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl. Use your hands to mix well.* Place mixture in 9x13–inch baking dish and shape into a loaf. Bake 1/2 hour, then spoon cooking juices over meatloaf. Bake for another 1/2 hour. Remove from oven and let set for 10 minutes. Don't worry if meatloaf falls apart when sliced. Serve with whole kernel corn and mashed potatoes. Baked apples make a great dessert.

Serves 8

Hint
*I use clear plastic gloves (the boxed pop-up kind) for all mixing because I do not the squishy feeling on my hands.
