Ingredients:
2 lbs ground chuck or 2 lbs ground round
6 slices fresh bread
1/2 cup milk or 1/2 cup cream
2 eggs, beaten with the milk or cream
1 small onions, chopped
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons pepper
1 (10 1/2 ounce) cans cream of chicken soup
Directions:
put meat, bread (broken up in large pieces), both eggs beaten with the milk, onion, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
in a large bowl.
then mix about 1/2 the can of soup into meat mixture (if you are using 2 small cans mix 1 can into meat mixture).
mix thoroughly with VERY clean hands.
shape into a loaf (it will be soft, very mushy to be exact, a friend told me to say it is the consistancy of”tuna salad” or canned cat food”) don’t worry, it is a sort of flatter than most meat loafs.
Mix about 1 cup of water with remaining soup (if you are using the large can) and pour over loaf (or mix 1 cup water with the other small can and pour over loaf).
Bake at 375 degrees about 1 hour and 30 minutes (adding water periodically).
if the gravy looks too light — cook for another 30 minutes — it will never be too dry — but the gravy will have a little more flavor — keep scrapping down the sides.
It will be golden brown on top and you will have delicious gravy to use over rice or potatoes.
It is the best meat loaf you will ever eat (it is VERY moist and so delicious).
