Mix all ingredients gently, but well and form into a loaf in a baking pan.
Do not overmix, as this tends to make for a tough (too firm) meatloaf.
Mix topping ingredients together and coat top of meatloaf.
Bake for 1 ½ hours at 350 degrees F. Cover for first 45 minutes.
Serving Ideas: Serve with a Peppercorn brown sauce.
NOTES: I first used this recipe at the Cripple Creek Country Club in Colorado. This meat loaf was a favorite lunch special in many of the restaurants and hotels I have worked at through the years. It is also a favorite 'employee meal'. Chef James.
