INSTRUCTIONS
This is my mother's recipe. Everyone loves it, and the cold leftovers are
also excellent. I haven't tasted it in years (since I'm a vegetarian), but
it is one of the few meat dishes I really miss.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Break egg into mixing bowl. Beat well.
Add beef mixture, chopped onion, uncooked oatmeal, salt, pepper, 1/2 cup of
the tomato juice, and half of the sliced mushrooms (drained). Mix until
combined.
Shape dough into ball, then loaf.
Place loaf in baking pan.
Bake 1/2 hour.
Evenly pour about 1/2 cup additional tomato juice over meat loaf, and
sprinkle with remaining sliced mushrooms (drained).
Bake about 45 - 50 minutes longer.
Pour contents of can of beef gravy into baking dish. Stir well.
Bake 10 - 15 minutes longer.
VARIATIONS: If preferred, sliced (and drained) pimiento-stuffed olives can
be substituted for one can of the mushrooms, and use the olives in the
loaf, and the mushrooms in the gravy. (This variation is especially
appealing for cold leftover slices.)
If preferred, a standard ketchup/tomato sauce glaze can be substituted for
the beef gravy ... Or, you could obviously make the gravy from scratch.
