2 eggs, beaten
1-1/2 lbs lean ground beef
5 tbsp seasoned bread crumbs
1 small onion, chopped
3 tbsp Worcestershire sauce (we used reduced sodium and you can't taste any difference)
1/2 tsp dry mustard
1/2 tsp pepper
Topping is either ketchup, BBQ sauce, steak sauce - whichever you like.

Combine all the ingredients in a mixing bowl. Mix well. Top lightly with your favorite topping. Microwave uncovered for time shown below. I cover the meatloaf for the "standing time" while it finishes cooking.

Type of dish to use:
For individual meatloaves I use six 6-oz custard cups arranged in a ring in the oven. If your oven doesn't have a turntable, rotate the dishes once or twice during cooking. Pack the meatloaf mixture into the bowls and microwave on HIGH for 10-13 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes.

For a ring-shaped meatloaf I use one 6-oz custard cup inverted in the center of my 3-quart casserole dish. Form the meatloaf mixture into large balls and pack around the custard cup. Microwave on HIGH for 12 minutes (based on an 1100 watt oven). Cover and let stand for 5 minutes. You'll find that when the standing time is over, any of the grease from the meatloaf mixture has accumulated inside the custard cup. I don't know why it works that way, but it does. It's neat!

You've got a meatloaf in less than 20 minutes and the kitchen isn't hot either.
