Mike's 1970's Meatloaf Dinner. He is noted for his powerful, wide-ranging voice and theatrical live shows. Meatloaf made with all beef requires some special handling so that it doesn't taste like a dry, loaf-shaped hamburger. We set out to make a loaf with well-seasoned meat and just enough binder to give the loaf a tender, not tough, texture.

Namely, a more complex mix of flavors and a texture more like a well-made hamburger rather. Momma's Meatloaf is a classic meatloaf that has the best flavor ever!

But it's a true drop-and-go dinner — and basically makes itself. This recipe is a version that Alton Brown did on Good Eats. I've added a few extra ingredients, like mushrooms, which I believe helps make a very moist meatloaf. Do I feel bad stealing Alton's recipe? No, because he stole it from someone, who stole it from someone. old man mike bengyak.
