Meatloaf with Onion Gravy

When we're hungry for a change from my traditional meatloaf, I make this gravy-covered meatloaf and baked potatoes.

1-1/2 pounds lean ground beef1 cup bread crumbs or crushed crackers1 small onion, chopped1 egg1/2 cup milk1/2 cup catsup1 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce1 tsp. salt1/2 tsp. pepper

GRAVY2 cups water1 envelope dry onion soup mix4 to 6 tbsp. flour1 cup water.1. In a large bowl, combine beef, bread crumbs, onion, egg, milk, catsup, Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper; mix thoroughly. In a shallow baking pan, shape into loaf. Bake at 350º for 1 hour, draining off fat half way through cooking.

2. In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups water to a boil; stir in soup mix. Simmer, covered, for 10 minutes. Combine flour with 1 cup water and gradually stir into soup. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer, stirring frequently, until gravy thickens, about 5 minutes. Serve with meatloaf. Yield: 6 servings.
