YIELD: 6 servings

INGREDIENTS:

3/4 pound Ground Beef

1 Egg, beaten

2 tablespoons (1 packet) Ranch Seasoning & Salad Dressing Mix

1/3 cup Dry Breadcrumbs

2 tablespoons Olive Oil

2 tablespoons (1 packet) Ranch Seasoning & Salad Dressing Mix

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F.

2. Mix all ingredients for the meatloaf together in a large bowl, but avoid excessive handling for a moist meatloaf. Form into a loaf and place in a baking dish or loaf pan.

3. (Optional): If making the accompanying Ranch Roasted Red Potatoes, wash and dice approximately 3 pounds red potatoes. In a large bowl toss with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Sprinkle the Ranch Seasoning & Salad Dressing Mix over the potatoes and stir well to coat evenly.
