This recipe came from the cookbook of Laura Ingalls Wilder. I bought the book at her home place and museum in Mansfield, Missouri.
1 1-2 lbs lean chopped beef
1/2 lb pork sausage (Italian, sage, spicy, breakfast, etc.)
1 egg, beaten
1 cup milk
1 cup fresh bread crumbs
1 medium onion, chopped fine
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 (8 oz) can mushrooms, drained
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Combine all ingredients except mushrooms. Form into loaf shape and place in greased 9 1/2 x 5 x 2 inch loaf pan.
Bake for 40 minutes, uncovered, until meat loaf is firm in center.
Spread mushrooms over top of meat loaf and bake an additional 30 minutes.
