Connecticut Jen's Meat Loaf

1 1/2 lbs lean ground beef
3 slices of bread torn into small pieces
2 eggs
1/2 cup milk
1 small onion, chopped
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp dry mustard (***or try one big long squirt of yellow mustard***)
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp garlic powder (***or one large garlic clove, minced***)
1 cup barbecue sauce

Mix all ingredients together until everything is evenly blended. (***Feel free to eyeball the ingredients and flavor as you like, especially with the Worcestershire sauce, garlic and black pepper.***)

Place mixture in a loaf pan and spread top with barbecue sauce. (***Also try shaping the meat mixture into a loaf in the middle of a cookie sheet so that the sides of the loaf don't burn and the juices can float away.***)

Bake at 350° for 1 1/4 hours.

One loaf feeds about 3-4 adults.
