2 cups of Day old cooked white rice
2 eggs
1/4 cup of chopped green onions

Meatloaf for newbies

1 lb of ground beef
2/3 cup of breadcrumbs (saltine crackers, progresso breadcrumbs, or freshly processed works fine.)
2 eggs
1/3 of a yellow onion (finely diced)
1 tsp of dried parsley
1 tsp of dried oregeno
1 tbsp of salt
1/4 cup of water or milk to keep mixture moist
1 tsp of dried mustard

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Mix up all the ingredients in a mixing bowl with a fork. Make sure the onion bits are evenly distributed, I use my hands to make sure. Shape into a loaf pan. Place loaf pan in oven.

Bake for 45 minutes. 1/2 cup of ketchup with 2 tbsp of brown sugar, smother all over meatloaf in the last 15 mins of baking.

Check center for doneness. Meatloaf should be moist, but no longer pink in the center - onions should be clear.

Serve with turkey gravy.
