STEVE'S MEAT LOAF

     MEATLOAF-1 - A quick and flavorful meat loaf

     This is my own adaption of a recipe I got many years ago
     from a Campbell's soup cookbook.  It usually gets rave
     reviews from guests:

INGREDIENTS (serves 4-6)
          LOAF
     2 lbs     hamburger
     1         egg
     dash      nutmeg
     1/4 tsp   black pepper
     1/2 cup   canned mushroom soup concentrate
     1/2 cup   onion, chopped
     1/2 cup   bread crumbs
     1/3 cup   marinara sauce (or spaghetti sauce or pizza sauce)
     2         garlic cloves, minced
     2 tsp     seasoned salt (or use a mixture of salt, pepper,
               cayenne, and celery seed).
          SAUCE
     8 oz      canned mushroom soup concentrate (use the rest of
               the can)
     3 oz      mushrooms, sliced
     1/2 cup   sour cream
     1/4 cup   drippings (from baking the loaf)

PROCEDURE
          (1)  Preheat oven to 425 deg. F.

          (2)  Mix all ingredients together well, shape into loaf
               and put into a pan. If you use a roasting rack
               instead of a bread pan, the loaf will be less
               greasy, and you can use some of the drippings to
               make the sauce.

          (3)  Bake 20 minutes uncovered at 425 deg. F.  Turn
               down the oven to 375 deg. F and continue baking,
               uncovered, for 55 more minutes.

          (4)  Make the sauce: Fry the mushrooms in the drippings
               and then combine the drippings and mushrooms with
               the mushroom soup and sour cream. Heat this mix-
               ture in a sauce pan. When meatloaf is done, put on
               a plate, cover with sauce, slice, and eat.

RATING
     Difficulty: easy.  Time: 15 minutes preparation, 1 1/2 hours
     cooking.  Precision: approximate measurement OK.
