COUNTRY MEATLOAF

Category: Meatloaf

1 to 2 tbsp butter
8 oz sliced mushrooms
1 cup chopped onion
1 cup thinly sliced celery
3/4 shredded carrots
2 tbsp water
2 lbs ground round
1/2 cup flour
1 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp seasoned salt
1/4 tsp dried tarragon or thyme
1 tsp dried parsley flakes
2 tbsp soy sauce

In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat; add mushrooms, onion, celery, carrots, and water. Heat to boiling; cover and cook for 10 minutes, or until vegetables are just tender-crisp.

In a large bowl, combine ground beef, flour, seasoned salt, tarragon, thyme, soy sauce, and the cooked vegetables. Mix gently and shape into a loaf on a greased, shallow baking pan (with sides). Bade at 350 for 55 to 65 minutes, or until loaf is crusty and browned.
