Meatloaf

Meatloaf...it's an interesting thing. Smush a bunch of beef together and put it in a loaf pan and cook. Whatever. Its good. I had a terrible craving for meatloaf with brown gravy...so I made some. It's not the best meatloaf, and I will probably try to make it different next time, but it was edible!

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 lbs ground beef (or whatever meat you want to use)
• 1/2 small onion, chopped
• 1 egg (I used egg beaters)
• 3/4 c. italian bread crumbs
• 1/4 c. worchestershire sauce
• 1/4 c. ketchup
• salt
• pepper
• garlic powder
  

Gravy:

• 1 c. mushrooms, cut
• about 2 Tbl onion, chopped
• 1 c beef broth
• butter
  
• water
• corn starch
  

Directions:

• Preheat oven to 350
• mix together all the ingredients for the loaf.
• Put it into a loaf pan
• place loaf in oven on top of a cookie sheet (so the bottom doesn't burn)
  
• Cook until the juices don't run red

Gravy:

• heat butter in saucepan
• mix in mushrooms and onions
• cook until tender
• add beef broth and let simmer for 5 minutes
• mix together water and cornstarch
• add this to the beef broth mixture to thicken gravy.
