My family ate this for dinner countless times while I was growing up. This recipe comes from my mom's "Red Checked Cookbook", the Better Homes and Gardens New Cookbook. It was likely a 1970's edition. This is a simple meatloaf, but it's long been my family's favorite. We always baked potatoes along-side the meatloaf.
1 can chopped mushrooms
milk
1 egg
1 1/2 teaspoon Worchestershire Sauce
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
1 1/2 cups soft bread crumbs
1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef
2 tablespoons catsup
Drain the mushroooms, reserving the liquid. Add enough milk to the liquid to make 1/2 cup. Combine the liquid, egg, Worchestershire sauce, seasonings and bread crumbs. Let stand for 5 minutes. Add beef and mix gently. Add chopped mushrooms. Shape into a loaf and place in a 13" x 9" baking dish. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes. Top with catsup and bake 15 minutes longer.
Let rest before slicing. Makes excellent meatloaf sandwiches.
