Our favorite meatloaf

I was shopping this weekend – what a nightmare that was!  It’s always a delight seeing a mass amount of people and only two checkouts open.  The cashier I had held up my fried onions and said she loved them in a salad.  I one up’d her and told her about the meatloaf I make with them.  She had never heard of such a thing so I figured I’d share our favorite meatloaf with you.

It’s pretty easy and only has a handful of ingredients.  Probably ones you already have in the fridge/pantry.  Ground beef, tomato soup, French’s fried onions, egg, salt and pepper.  I usually make this with sandwiches in mind.  Meatloaf + sharp cheddar.  The best!
