Meatloaf

1 lb. hamburger, I use the 90% to 98% fat free
½ lb. pork sausage
2 cups dry seasoned bread crumbs
1½ cups milk
1 egg, well beaten
¼ teaspoon dry mustard
½ teaspoon sage
¼ teaspoon black pepper
2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
¼ cup onion, minced

Mix the meats together. Add to that mixture the milk and bread crumbs. Then add the beaten egg, then the dry mustard, sage, pepper, salt and minced onion. Mix well. Place in loaf pan. Bake 1 hour and 15 minutes at 350º. Then put catsup on top of the meatloaf and return to the oven for 15 more minutes. If you wish not to use the catsup then cook the meatloaf for 1½ hours.
