DELICIOUS MEATLOAF WITH VEGETABLES
My family likes spice so I add in about 2 teaspoons dried chili flakes when sauteeing the veggies, but that is optional, you can sub chili sauce for the ketchup ---if you prefer to use fresh sliced mushrooms, just saute in the skillet before the onions and other ingredients, any leftovers makes a fantastic sandwich! :)

Steps:
- put meat, bread (broken up in large pieces), both eggs beaten with the milk, onion, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- in a large bowl.
- then mix about 1/2 the can of soup into meat mixture (if you are using 2 small cans mix 1 can into meat mixture).
- mix thoroughly with VERY clean hands.
- shape into a loaf (it will be soft, very mushy to be exact, a friend told me to say it is the consistancy of"tuna salad" or canned cat food") don't worry, it is a sort of flatter than most meat loafs.
- Mix about 1 cup of water with remaining soup (if you are using the large can) and pour over loaf (or mix 1 cup water with the other small can and pour over loaf).
- Bake at 375 degrees about 1 hour and 30 minutes (adding water periodically).
- if the gravy looks too light -- cook for another 30 minutes -- it will never be too dry -- but the gravy will have a little more flavor -- keep scrapping down the sides.
- It will be golden brown on top and you will have delicious gravy to use over rice or potatoes.
- It is the best meat loaf you will ever eat (it is VERY moist and so delicious).
Tips:
- Use a combination of ground meats. This will give your meatloaf a more complex flavor and texture. Some good combinations include beef and pork, turkey and chicken, or lamb and veal.
- Don't overmix the meatloaf mixture. Overmixing will make the meatloaf tough. Just mix the ingredients until they are well combined.
- Add moisture to the meatloaf mixture. This will help to keep the meatloaf moist and juicy. Some good ways to add moisture include using eggs, milk, or broth.
- Season the meatloaf mixture well. Use a variety of spices and seasonings to give your meatloaf flavor. Some good options include garlic, onion, salt, pepper, and paprika.
- Bake the meatloaf at a moderate temperature. This will help to prevent the meatloaf from drying out. The ideal temperature for baking meatloaf is 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the meatloaf rest before slicing. This will help the meatloaf to stay moist and juicy. Let the meatloaf rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing.
