The Frugal Gourmet's Sour Cream Meatloaf

2 eggs

8 ounces sour cream

1/4 cup milk

1/2 cup dry breadcrumbs

1/4 cup finely chopped onion

2 tablespoons minced parsley**

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

1 tablespoon Dijon-style mustard

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon pepper

1 1/2 lbs lean ground beef

1 (3/4 ounce) package brown gravy mix

hot mashed potatoes

In large bowl combine eggs, 1/2 C of the sour cream and milk;

Stir in bread crumbs, onion, parsley** (I didn't have parsley on hand so I used minced garlic instead), Worcestershire sauce, mustard, salt and pepper.

Add beef and mix well. Put into 9x5x3 loaf pan or shape into that size and place in 12x7 1/2 x 2 inch baking dish.

Bake, uncovered, in a 350 degree oven for about 1 1/4 hrs or till meat thermometer registers 170 degrees. Let cool 10 minutes; remove from pan.

Meanwhile, for the gravy, in medium pan stir together the remaining sour cream and dry gravy mix. Add water as called for on pkg. Cook according to pkg directions.

Slice meat loaf and serve with the mashed potatoes and gravy.
