My Favorite Meatloaf & Corn Casserole

My Favorite Easy Meatloaf
This is my favorite very easy and tasty meatloaf recipe I often make.
Ingredients:
1 package meatloaf mix (or about 1.5 pounds of ground beef + 0.5 pounds of ground pork)
1 package of onion soup mix, any brand
2 large eggs
1/2 cup ketchup or chili sauce
1/4 tsp salt, optional (Note: the onion soup mix is already salty so add less salt.)
1/2 to 1 tsp ground black pepper
1+1/2 cups bread crumbs (or 1 cup bread crumbs + 1/2 cup quick oats)
1/2 to 3/4 cup milk or as needed
Topping sauce:
1/2 to 1 cup of ketchup alone
or the mixture of
1/2 cup ketchup or chili sauce
1/2 cup barbeque sauce
1 tsp dijon or yellow mustard, optional
Method:
1. In a large bowl, combine all the meatloaf ingredients above by hand. Mix and knead for about 3-5 minutes until the liquid is absorbed so that the meat holds together well when baked.
2. Form the meat mixture into a loaf and place it in a greased baking dish. Sometimes I like to make it into 2 smaller loaves.
3. Mix the topping ingredients together and brush on the meatloaf. Set aside one-half of the sauce for adding later.
4. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake at 350 deg. F for 30-45 minutes (bake for 30 minutes for 2 smaller loaves and 40-45 minutes for one big loaf) or until the meat is cooked through.
5. Uncover and add the remaining topping sauce on top. Bake uncovered for another 10-15 minutes.
6. Let stand for 10-15 minutes before serving.
