Meat Loaf the Kids Loved

I'm calling this, "The Meat Loaf the Kids Loved" because it's just that. They are picky eaters, but they LOVED it. Before I could sit down and say grace, they had inhaled it and were asking for "more chicken," as my 2 yr old said. :) My husband LOVED it, also. Thank you, Betty Crocker. Serves 4-8.

Meat Loaf the Kids Loved

1 1/2 lb lean ground beef (at least 80% lean)
1 c milk
1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp chopped fresh, or 1/4 tsp dried sage leaves
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground mustard
1/4 tsp pepper
1 clove minced garlic, or 1/8 tsp garlic powder
1 large egg
3 sliced bread, torn into small pieces, or 1/2 c dried bread crumbs
1 small onion, diced (1/4 c)
1/2 c ketchup, chili sauce, or barbecue sauce

1. Heat oven to 350.
2. In large bowl, mix all ingredients except ketchup. Spread mixture in ungreased 8x4" or 9x5" loaf pan, or shape into 9x5" loaf in ungreased 13x9" pan. Spread ketchup over top.
3. Insert ovenproof meat thermometer so tip is in center of loaf. Bake uncovered 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes or until center is no longer pink and thermometer reads at least 160 degrees. Drain meat loaf.
4. Let stand 5 minutes; remove from pan.
