MEATLOAF:

2/3 cup cracker or bread crumbs

1 cup milk

1 1/2 lb. hamburger

1/4 cup chopped onion

2 eggs

1 tsp salt

1/8 tsp pepper

SAUCE:

1/4 cup brown sugar

1/4 cup catsup

1/4 tsp nutmeg

Soak crumbs in milk. Add the rest of the ingredients, execpt the sauce mixture. Shape into a large loaf, place in shallow pan, top with sauce. Bake at 350* for 1 hour.

*~*~* Here is how I do it~~~

Put everyting in a bowl, execpt the sauce mixture. Mix it all real well, add a envelope of cheap mushroom gravy mix to the hamburger mixture, shape into a loaf, and put it in a slow cooker (ha), bake about 4 to 6 hours or till you think it's done. Baste the top of the meatloaf with the sauce til it looks good. *~*~*~

I'm going to put some canned potatoes with butter and parsley on the menu.
