Recipe #70 - Better Than Carol's Meatloaf (aka Chris' meatloaf)

__________________________________________________________________________________

This is my father's personal meatloaf recipe. He has always said that he can cook three things better than my Mom: chili, spaghetti sauce (aka meat gravy) and meatloaf. So, of course, I had to include this recipe in my blog (no matter how much Mom hates the name of it).

Lightly toast bread in the oven. Let cool, then crumble into small pieces. Four slices should make about 3 cups.

Preheat over to 350 degrees F. Mix meat with eggs. Add onion, bell pepper, all seasoning and bread crumbs. Mix until thoroughly combined.

Add half the tin of soup and mix everything well. Turn into greased loaf pan or glass casserole dish and pour remaining soup over the top, smoothing it evenly over all.

Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes.

Serve over mashed potatoes (preferably recipe #69) and asparagus.
