Meatloaf

Adapted from Don't Panic Dinner's in the freezer cookbook

1T oil
1 small onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1t thyme
1/3c milk
1 egg
1/4c ketchup
1/2c bread crumbs
1/2t salt
1/2t pepper
1lb ground beef
1lb ground sausage

Heat oil and cook onion until soft, ~5min. Add garlic and thyme and cook 1 minute more; set aside. Combine milk, egg, and ketchup. Stir in bread crumbs, salt, and pepper. Crumble in meats and add onion mixture. Stir unitl well combined. Freeze meat into 2 loaves, using foil and plastic wrap.

Serving Day:
Thaw loaf and place in baking dish. Bake at 350 for ~1hour to 1 1/2hours. Mix 1/2c ketchup and 2T brown sugar to create sauce and pour over meatloaf for last 1/2 hour of baking time.

Notes: Orginal recipe calls for 1/2lb each of beef, pork and veal. Since I rarely have the latter two on hand I just use beef and sausage.  I used to not be a fan of meatloaf, but this recipe has changed that!
