Meatloaf

This was my first attempt at meatloaf. I don't have a meatloaf pan hence the funny shape of my loaf. Anyway Brandon loved it especially because he could help me make it. Here is my recipe.

Lean ground beef (I would say I used about 1.5 lbs)
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
7 saltine crackers (smooshed)
1/2 cup fine dice yellow onion
/2 garlic powder
2 eggs
2 cloves garlic finely chopped
2 tbsp italian bread crumbs
1 pack lipton onion soup mix (near the soups at the store)
2 tbsp milk
2 green onions chopped (light green and white parts only)

Throw all ingredients in a bowl and mix WITH HANDS! Preheat oven to 350 and bake covered for 40 minutes. Uncover and bake for about 20 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 160 (for medium rare).
