The Wife's Meatloaf

Marvel in its totality as it uses comfort to block out your ability to be productive after eating. Goes amazingly with The Wife's Baked Macaroni and Cheese. I should know, because that's what I ask her to make every time she makes the meatloaf.

Ingredients

2 lbs - Ground Beef
1 lb - Italian Sausage, ground
1 ea - Onion, diced
2 ea - Eggs
1 ea - Sleeve of Saltines, crushed
1.5 tsp - Salt
1.5 tsp - Pepper
2.5 tsp - Garlic Powder
1 ea - Tomato Sauce, 8 oz can

Instructions

In a large bowl, mix together all the ingredients except for the sauce.
Line a 9 x 13 baking dish with aluminum foil, and spray with nonstick.
Form a loaf with the mixture in the pan, then pour tomato sauce over it, covering the whole loaf.
Cover with aluminum foil, and put in the oven for 1 hour and 45 minutes - 2 hours.
Remove foil, and let cook for an additional 15 minutes in oven.
Once out of oven, remove meatloaf from pan and put on a serving dish.

Notes

93/7 ground beef is preferred. Do not go below 80/20 or it will be a lump of grease.
Can experiment with beef to sausage ratio, and/or substitute with ground sirloin.
Easy way to crush saltines is right in the sleeve. Just wait till something upsets you, like the latest episode of Game of Thrones getting spoiled for you, then grab your sleeve of saltines and go to town on them. Careful though, the sleeve might break.
Use other spices if you'd like. Go with your gut and what you like to use with ground beef. Cumin, thyme, oregano, and paprika, all sound good to me.
The salt, pepper, and garlic measurements are all rough estimates as The Wife does not trouble herself with such frivolous utensils.
