Meat Loaf

1 lb ground sirloin
1 egg
about half of a stack of saltine crackers (comes 4 tall stacks to a box)
about 1/4 C catchup
about 1 Tbsp rubbed sage
about 2-3 Tbsp dried chopped onions
about 1/8-1/4 tsp pepper

Mix all the above, use hands. The crackers need to be crushed (do with hands). Add enough to get the meat to stick together, too much will make it dry, too little & the loaf will fall apart. Doing with you hands helps you to get a feel for when it's just right.

Place in a foil lined baking dish & fold the foil. Bake at 350 degrees for about 40-45 minutes. Open the foil & check if done, cut the center with a knife, if done it will feel solid. Spread about 1/4 C catsup over top of meat loaf & return to oven about 5-10 minutes.
