THE CADILLAC OF MEATLOAF

The Cadillac of Meatloaf image

The yogurt is the secret ingredient in this meatloaf! You can use a mixture of ground beef, veal and pork if desired. To save time you can saute the mushroom/onion mixture a day in advance and refrigerate. Also chili sauce or ketchup can be spread on top of the meatloaf before baking. For Italian-style breadcrumbs see recipe#203857, if you are using this recipe for breadcrumbs reduce the Parmesan cheese to 1/4 cup and omit the thyme.

Add plenty of flavorings to the meatloaf mixture. This could include things like bread crumbs, eggs, onions, garlic, herbs, and spices.
Shape the meatloaf mixture into a loaf shape and place it on a baking sheet. Top with a glaze or sauce, if desired.
Bake the meatloaf in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 1 hour, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the center of the loaf reads 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
