Mare's Most Delicious Meatloaf

Total Time: 1 hr 50 mins Preparation Time: 20 mins Cook Time: 1 hr 30 mins

Ingredients

• 2 lbs ground chuck or 2 lbs ground round
• 6 slices fresh bread
• 1/2 cup milk or 1/2 cup cream
• 2 eggs, beaten with the milk or cream
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 2 teaspoons pepper
• 1 (10 1/2 ounce) can cream of chicken soup

Recipe

• 1 put meat, bread (broken up in large pieces), both eggs beaten with the milk, onion, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
• 2 in a large bowl.
• 3 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).
• 4 mix thoroughly with very clean hands.
• 5 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.
• 6 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).
• 7 bake at 375 degrees about 1 hour and 30 minutes (adding water periodically).
• 8 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.
• 9 it will be golden brown on top and you will have delicious gravy to use over rice or potatoes.
• 10 it is the best meat loaf you will ever eat (it is very moist and so delicious).
