I first tried this savory meat loaf recipe more than 30 years ago after seeing it demonstrated on a local TV cooking program. Since then, I've served it time and again to family and guests. The flavorful stuffing sets it apart from the ordinary.

CATEGORY: Main Dish
METHOD: Baked
TIME: Prep: 25 min. Bake: 1 hour
Ingredients:
- 2 eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 1-1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1/8 teaspoon pepper
- 1-1/2 pounds lean ground beef
- STUFFING:
- 1/2 pound fresh mushrooms, sliced
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 tablespoons butter or margarine
- 2 cups soft bread crumbs
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon pepper
Directions:
In a large bowl, beat eggs, milk, ketchup, salt and pepper. Add beef and mix well. Pat half of the meat mixture into a greased 9-in. x 5-in. loaf pan; set aside.
For stuffing, saute the mushrooms and onion in butter until tender, about 3 minutes. Add bread crumbs, parsley, thyme, salt and pepper; saute until crumbs are lightly browned. Spoon over meat layer; cover with remaining meat mixture and press down gently. Bake at 350° for 1 hour or until no pink remains, draining fat when necessary. Yield: 6 servings.
