In a large bowl combine the ground beef, onion, eggs, milk, saltines, salt, rubbed sage, and pepper. When you have all the ingredients incorporated place it all in a 10inch skillet (or something close to 10 inches).
Optional topping: Combine the ketchup, brown sugar and Worcestershire sauce and spread evenly over the top of the meat loaf mixture.
Bake at 350° for 40 to 45 minutes or until no pink remains.
Let it stand for about 10 minutes before slicing.
Tip - If you use a loaf pan cook for 60 to 65 minutes.
