McGee Family Meatloaf

Ingredients:
4 pounds ground beef (mince in the UK)*
2 packets .chicken coating mix*
2 eggs
4 teaspoons garlic powder
Cooking spray
Beef broth
White or red wine


Directions:
Heat oven to 350 F ( Gas mark 4 or 177C).

In a very large bowl place all ingredients. Using your hands squish and mix together all ingredients until well blended. It will start forming a ball when it starts being well blended.

Spray a 13x9" baking pan with the cooking spray. Add enough beef broth and wine to cover the bottom of the pan. Place the beef mixture into the pan and shape into a rectangle. Do Not fill up the pan with the meat just make a rectangle and place in the center of the pan.

Cover with aluminum foil.

Bake for an hour and a half or until the meatloaf is no longer pink inside.

I cut the meatloaf in thirds. I have a third of it with mashed potatoes and gravy that night.

Later in the week I make Meatloaf Marinara Subs.

My dad takes the other third and makes SOS with Southern biscuits.


*Notes:
I try to use lean ground beef (mince) but not so lean it falls apart. Usually in the 80/20 range of lean to fat.

I use the "Oven Fry" brand of coating mix.
