Yield: 6 Servings
| Measure | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 1½ pounds | Lean ground beef |
| 1 cup | Cracker crumbs (approx 22) or bread crumbs; dry |
| 1¼ cup | Milk |
| 1 large | Egg |
| ¼ cup | Chopped onion; (1 small) |
| 1 tablespoon | Worcestershire sauce |
| 1½ teaspoon | Salt |
| ½ teaspoon | Dry mustard |
| ¼ teaspoon | Pepper |
| ¼ teaspoon | Ground sage |
| 1 \N | Clove crushed garlic; optional |
| 8 ounces | Finely chopped mushrooms; optional |
| ½ cup | Ketchup |
Mix all ingredients thoroughly. Don't overhandle the meat, as that will toughen it. Spread in ungreased loaf pan, 9x5x3 inches. Spread with ketchup (or BBQ Sauce, if desired). Leave a section of it plain, as Dad doesn't care for the ketchup topping. Cook uncovered in 350 degree oven until done, about 1½ hours.
Serving Ideas : Mashed Potatoes, Corn or Green Beans, Biscuits.
