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 beef
1 cup bread crumbs or crushed crackers
1 small onion, chopped
1 egg
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup ketchup
1 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper

GRAVY
2 cups water
1 envelope dry onion soup mix
4 to 6 tbsp. flour
1 cup water.

In a large bowl, combine beef, bread crumbs, onion, egg, milk, ketchup, 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.

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.
