Meatloaf

http://allrecipes.com/recipe/easy-meatloaf/

Saute onions in butter. Add 1/2 chopped green pepper to saute with onions (mostly to get rid of moisture), 1 T worcestershire sauce, some chopped mushrooms (or 4 oz canned and chopped). Add 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp pepper. Don't double sauce for topping, but may half sugar. Bake at least 1.25 hours to 170. I usually bake 1.5 hours and it is great.

Notes: David likes it best if not all the meat is super lean. I used 91/9 the first time, and 85/15 the second time, which david liked better. I think a compromise would be better so you use 1 lb 91/9 and 1/2 lb 85/15, or visa versa.

Also can be made gluten free swapping rolled oats for breadcrumbs. It is slightly crumbly this way but still terrific, just cut carefully.
Reduce milk by 2 tbsp if adding green pepper and worcestershire sauce, to counter the additional liquid they provide.
