Mix, shape, and bake
- Heat the oven to 350°F.
- Combine the ground beef, eggs, crushed saltines, and the entire jar of Meatloaf Starter in the amounts shown above. Mix just until combined.
- Shape into a loaf in a baking pan. For the 32 oz jar, divide the mixture into two equal loaves, each made with 2 pounds of ground beef.
- Bake until a food thermometer in the center of each loaf reads 160°F.
Baking guide: For a loaf made with 2 pounds of ground beef, begin checking at 45 minutes and continue baking as needed. Check smaller loaves made with the 4 oz or 8 oz jars earlier. Cooking time depends on the loaf's thickness, shape, and your oven.
Complete your supper
Serve with mashed potatoes and fresh green beans, roasted carrots, or a green salad. Choose the sides your family enjoys, bring the dishes to the table, and take your seat with them.
