Stove Top Meat Loaf

Step 1:
2 lbs ground beef
2/3 roll of crushed milk crackers (I use Royal Crackers, a purple box)... See More
Poultry seasoning (Bell's Seasonings), a few dashes
1 egg
salt
pepper

Step 2:
Worcestershire sauce
1 onion, sliced

Mix all ingredients in step 1. Form into a firm loaf.(I use a loaf pan to do this and just remove it.) Brown loaf on all 4 sides in large, deep pan. Once browned, add water to pan until ½ of loaf is under water. Add sliced onions to water. Add Worcestershire sauce to water. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce to a simmer on medium/low for approximately 45 minutes. To test if done, cut loaf in half to see if it is still red.
