Beefy Mushroom Meatloaf

INGREDIENTS:

• 4 ounces mushrooms, chopped
• 2 teaspoons butter
• 1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef
• 1/2 pound ground pork, or more ground beef
• 1/2 medium onion, finely chopped onion
• 1 can (10 1/2 ounces) beefy mushroom soup
• 1/2 cup fine dry bread crumbs
• 2/3 cup quick cooking rolled oats
• 1 egg, lightly beaten
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper

PREPARATION:

Saute mushrooms in butter over medium-low heat until browned and tender. In a large bowl, combine mushrooms and remaining ingredients, mixing lightly until thoroughly blended. Spray a 7x11-inch or 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Fashion a rack with a piece of foil and place in the baking dish (this will keep the meat loaf out of the drippings). Place the meat mixture on the "rack" dish and pat into a loaf shape. Bake at 350° for 1 hour and 15 minutes to 1 1/2 hours. Let stand for 15 minutes before serving.
Serves 6 to 8.
