2lbs 85% lean ground beef.
1 to 1.5 cups italian Bread crumbs (or crushed croutons)
2 Large Eggs
1/4 cup brown sugar
Garlic Powder 3 Teaspoons
Onion Powder 3 Teaspoons
Cavendars Greek Seasoning 5 Teaspoons
Mortons Nature's Own Seasoning Optional 2 Teaspoons
Ketchup (Or tomatoe sauce but I think ketchup tastes richer)
Hickory Smoke BBQ sauce
Worcestershire Sauce
Mix meat, eggs, bread crumbs, and spices in large bowl- consistency should be as stuck together not crumbly.
Place into caserole dish- size depending on desired thickness. Over meat then put on Worcestershire sauces first, then Ketchup and BBQ sauce. Mix and layer over top evenly. Enough to evenly cover top.
Bake 375-400 for 45 mins or longer depending on pan size
*For another tastey twist, I like to chop green bell pepper and fresh onion into my meatloaf, just make sure your meatloaf is bound well so it won't fall apart around the vegetables.
Cheese Potatoes:
Russet Potatoes (I usually do 1 medium potato per person)
1/2 to 1 stick of butter
1 large table spoon Sour cream
2 cups mild shredded cheddar cheese (add more if you like it really cheesey)
Wash, Peel and Boil Potatoes
melt in butter and sour cream then add shredded cheese and mix.
I like to add some greek and mortons' seasoning to this too and freshly ground black pepper.

Expensive, yes. (Aldi stores have comparable items to all
ingredients save the Greek Seasoning-lowering cost. Also note, if you have
these already in your fridge, or budget them into your grocery budget, this
meal cost goes way down. Secondly, all ingredients save your ground beef can be
used in other meals. Splitting the cost of this meal, by whatever other meals
