Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
You will find that you may need to adjust the amount of milk or dry bread crumbs due to the amount of fat in the hamburger meat.
The bread crumbs or oatmeal is important to bind the meat together and helps maintain its shape.
May add other seasonings, garlic, sage, parsley, etc.
May shape into individual meatloaf servings or into hamburger patties.
Reduce baking time if using a different type of pan, ring mold, or shaped meat loaf.
The kids liked the glaze the best on the meat loaf so I made extra.

I remember my Grandma Thomason making meat loaf for Sunday dinners.
She used catsup as her glaze which she probably had made and canned herself. We kids loved it!!
