Meatloaf

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 10-20 minutes (microwave) or 45-60 minutes (oven)

2 pounds ground beef or meatloaf mixture
2 eggs
1 cup chopped onions
3/4 to 1 cup water
1 to 1 1/2 cups Italian-flavored bread crumbs
1/4 cup cry parsley flakes (or 1/2 cup fresh)
Salt, pepper, and garlic powder, to taste

Mix all ingredients together.  Shape into a loaf, ring, or round in a microwave-safe dish and microwave until juices run clear and internal temperature is 160F:
Loaf - 15 to 20 minutes
Ring - 10 to 15 minutes
Round - 14 to 20 minutes

Or bake in oven at 350F for 45 to 60 minutes until juices run clear and internal temperature is 160F.

Tips: sometimes I make meatloaf in a muffin tin - it speeds up the cooking and everyone gets their own mini-meatloaf.  They are also easy to freeze and reheat a few at a time.

Substitutions:
Lawry's seasoned salt for salt
Omit salt and spices and use an envelope of onion soup mix - if you like a lot of onions, add the fresh chopped onion.
