When I'm tired, and in no mood to cook up an elaborate meal, I sometimes resort to my "lazy" meatloaf recipe. It's simple, it doesn't require a lot of effort, and it's pretty darned tasty.

First, set your oven to 375 degrees.

In a large bowl, combine:

2 lbs. lean ground beef
1 egg
10.5 oz. Campbell's onion soup
1 package of panko (those little 4 oz. things you can find in the Asian aisle of your local supermarket)
1 tsp. salt

Mix it well. Slap the meat mixture down on a baking sheet and shape it into a loaf. (I like to like the baking shhet with foil, as it'll make cleaning easier later on .)

For a glaze, you can rub the meatloaf with ketchup or your favorite barbeque sauce. If you prefer, you can leave it sans glaze--that's fine, too.

Toss that hunk of meat onto your oven's middle rack, and cook it until its core temperature reaches 155 degrees. If you don't have a probe thermometer, just cook it for about an hour.
