Loaf:
3 LB lean ground beef (or use 1 LB each beef, pork and veal)
1 onion (chopped fine)
9 garlic cloves (chopped fine)
6 OZ mushrooms (chopped fine) (optional)
1½ C bread crumbs (plain or seasoned)
1½ TSP salt
¼ TSP black pepper
1 TBS parsley (dried)
1 egg
¼-½ C milk
Glaze:
1 C catsup
2-3 TBS brown sugar
1 TBS worcestershire
1 TBS prepared mustard
Temperature: 325
Mix all loaf ingredients, adjusting consistency with water or milk. Shape into a loaf (elongated ball). Bake for ½ hour uncovered. Cover and bake for ½-1 hour longer or until meat is well done in center of loaf (185 degrees). Spoon glaze over cooked meatloaf and cook for 10 minutes. Alternately you can cook it in cream of mushroom soup and dry onion soup to make gravy instead.
