an ungreased loaf pan, 9 X 5 X 3-inches or shape into a loaf in an

for 1 to 1 1/4 hours or until done. Drain off the excess fat and

the following: BARBECUED MEAT LOAF: For four 1/2-inch slices of meat
loaf, mix 1/2 cup of barbecue sauce and 2 tb of water in a skillet.
Place the slices of meatloaf in the skillet, turning to coat all
sides with the barbecue sauce. Cover and cook over low heat,
brushing the sauce on the slices occasionally, until the meat is hot,
about 10 to 15 minutes. POTATO-TOPPED MEAT LOAF: For four 1/2-inch
slices of meat loaf, prepare some instant mashed potatoes, enough for
4 servings, as directed on the package and set aside.
Set the oven control at broil/or 550 degrees F. Broil the slices
with the tops 3 to 4 inches from the heat for 5 minutes. Spread the
potatoes on the slices and sprinkle with shredded Cheddar cheese.
Broil until the cheese is melted, about 2 minutes and serve hot.
SOUPED-UP MEAT LOAF: For four 1/2-inch slices of meat loaf, mix 1/2
to 1 can of your favorite condensed cream soup, such as cream of
mushroom, (10 3/4 oz size) and 1/4 to 1/2 cup of milk in a skillet.
Heat to boiling, stirring frequently. Reduce the heat and place the
slices in the skilled, turning to coat all sides with the sauce.
Cover and simmer until the meat is hot, 10 to 15 minutes and serve.
