      2 lb Hamburger

      1    Egg

      1 ds Nutmeg

    1/4 t  Black pepper

    1/2 c  Mushroom soup

           -concentrate, canned
    1/2 c  Onion, chopped

    1/2 c  Bread crumbs

    1/3 c  Marinara sauce

           -(or spaghetti sauce
           -or pizza sauce)
      2    Garlic cloves,  minced

      2 t  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 c  Sour cream

    1/4 c  Drippings (from

           -baking the loaf)
  Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.  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. Bake 20 minutes uncovered at 425 degrees F. Turn down the
  oven to 375 degrees F. and continue baking, uncovered, for 55 more minutes.
  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
  mixture in a sauce pan.  When meatloaf is done, put on a plate, cover with
  sauce, slice and eat.

  reviews from guests.  Yield:  serves 4-6.
  : Difficulty:  easy.
