I got this recipe 20+ yrs or so ago. It was presented on one of the cooking shows on PBS (before the Food Network.) I jotted it down (no home computer then.) I tweaked it to my taste, but it pretty much is the recipe shown on TV. You must be a mushroom lover to appreciate this one.

How To Make best meatloaf i've ever tasted & i love meatloaf!)

Step 1

~~MEATLOAF~~ Pre-heat oven to 350^. In large hot skillet add EVOO. Heat on med-hi heat till shimmery~add onions and bell peppers. Saute' for 2 min or until soft. Remove skillet from heat. In large bowl break up beef; add eggs, soup or bechamel sauce, worcestershire sauce, bread crumbs, salt & pepper, and saute'd onion/bell pepper mixture. Work the ingredients together with your hands~if this freaks you out, wear disposable vinyl gloves. Do not over work mixture or it will be tough. Spray your pan w/cooking spray of choice. Form into 13"x9" pan, leaving a 2" gap between meat and pan on all sides. Place on middle rack in oven. Bake for 1hr & 30minutes if using metal pan; bake 1hr & 10minutes if using non-stick or glass pan. While baking meatloaf, prepare gravy.

Step 2

~~GRAVY~~ In hot skillet, on med-hi, heat EVOO till shimmery. Add onions and saute' for 1&1/2 minutes or until translucent. Add garlic and mushrooms and saute' until mixture becomes brown and dry. Remove from heat. In large bowl pour in **Golden Mushroom Soup** and slowly add stock or broth , whisking all the while till smooth. Now stir into mushroom mixture in the skillet and s&p. Set aside. About 10 minutes before meatloaf is done, put gravy on med-hi heat till it comes to a slow boil. Remove from heat. Take meatloaf out of oven and drain if there is fat in the baking pan. Pour hot gravy over meatloaf. Return to oven 10-15 minutes. Serve with mashed potatoes and veggies of choice. ~~ENJOY~~
