Preparation

Step 1

is a meatloaf recipe my Mother use to make as an alternative to the traditional meatloaf recipes made with tomato sauce or ketchup.

She made it with a can of Campbell's Cream of Mushroom Soup, a package of Lipton Onion Soup Mix, and oatmeal. I used a half of a can of soup to create a moist and flavorful meatloaf, and we. prefer crushed saltine crackers instead of the oatmeal, but you are welcome to use them if you prefer. I spread the rest of the soup over the meatloaf and baked it uncovered.

recipe I make all the time, and there were leftover meatloaf sandwiches made from this one too. Enjoy!

1 envelope Lipton Onion Soup Mix

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a large baking dish with a non stick cooking spray; set aside.

In a large bowl, combine saltine cracker crumbs, onion soup mix, black pepper, bell peppers, eggs, milk, and

, and mix all together until well blended.

Be careful not to handle the meat mixture to much. Shape into a round bun and place prepared dish.

To make a sauce for the meatloaf--heat 1 can of mushroom soup adding enough milk to thin out for a sauce. Serve over meatloaf slices.
