What is for supper in September? Day 27: Meatloaf

This is one of the only meals that I made in our early days of marriage (before I really figured out how to cook) that I still make and we still enjoy today! We really like eating the meatloaf with boiled red potatoes served with olive oil and herbs de provence sprinkled on top. We also enjoy edamame with this meal!

Meatloaf
1 pound ground beef
1 egg
1 medium onion chopping very finely
1 8oz can Hunts tomato sauce 110% natural Basil, Garlic and Oregano flavor (usually I am not picky with brands, and yes their are generic sauces which are GF, but the seasoning blend in this is great)
1 small can tomato paste
1 cup puffed rice (gluten free, cheap in ethnic markets)
1-2T chili powder
Salt and pepper to taste

Place all ingredients (besides tomato paste) in a mixing bowl and knead together with hands until mixed well.
Form and ball and lift out of bowl and into 8x8 baking pan (bakes faster and easier than loaf pan)
Spread tomato paste on top of meat mixture and re-season if desired
Bake at 375 for 60 minutes!
