    <step>Dice then saute onions.
Mix all ingredients using hands directly.
Place in greased loaf pan.
Baste with ketchup or BBQ sauce.

    <step>Amounts are approximate and may be varied to taste and desired texture.
I like a bit of oregano and and sage but vary it every time, adding Worcestershire on occasion.   
A dollop of ketchup or BBQ sauce in the mix is also nice.</step>

  <comment>Watching mom as a child I noticed that she didn&apos;t measure any of the ingredients.
That might be the secret, as slight variation keep it from becoming to familiar and boring.
At the same time, by making it many times over the years it becomes personalized and unique to the cook.

There are few things which beat meatloaf for a sandwich. 
I like mine with mayo, mustard and long sliced bread and butter pickles.</comment>
