Meatloaf should be easy

I don't have a lot of time and don't want to spend what time I have on dinner.  Meatloaf shouldn't be hard, require a trip to the store or make dishes.  This one doesn't.

What you need:
1-2 pounds of ground beef or turnkey
1/2-1 onion, diced (depending on how much you like onion)
2 pieces of bread (any kind) torn into pieces (make it 3 pieces if you use 2 pounds of meat)
1 egg
2 of the 3: 1/2 cup ketchup, 1/2 cup barbecue sauce, 1/2 cup molasses

Bonus ideas:

  • for tangier meatloaf add: 1/4 cup mustard 
  • for cheesy meatloaf add: 1/2-1 cup of cubed fresh mozzarella cheese.  Stuff cheese into loaf once formed.

To make it:
1. pre-heat the oven to 350
2. mix everything in one bowl
3. spray an oven proof pan
4. shape into desired shape (i prefer the classic loaf)
5. cook for 50 minutes (if you forgot to pre-heat like I always do it might take 55 minutes)
