Tina's Basic Meatloaf

My mom, Tina, makes a very basic and delicious meatloaf that even my husband will eat. To quote my husband: "I was afraid when you said we were having meatloaf for dinner, but that was actually good." I make 2 or 3 at a time using this recipe and freeze them.


Ingredients:


* 1 or 1.5 lbs. mix of ground beef, veal, and pork
* 1 t mustard
* 1 - 2 t worcestershire sauce
* 1 egg, beaten
* 1/2 cup or 1 cup breadcrumbs (depending on how firm you like your meatloaf)
* chopped fresh herbs (I use oregano, basil and whatever else looks good from my herb garden)
* salt & pepper to taste


Procedure:


1. Mix together all ingredients.
2. Form into 2 or 3 loaves.
3. Wrap in wax paper if freezing.
4. Bake in a 350 degree oven for about 30 minutes. (I thaw mine in the fridge the night before. If you are baking it frozen it will take longer.)
5. Serve it as is or with gravy, tomato sauce, or even BBQ sauce. We prefer plain or an herb beef gravy.
