Notes For Serving

THIS Meat Loaf and the Garlic Bread are two of my favorite dishes. The meat loaf may be prepared in the morning and kept in the refrigerator until a short time before it goes to the oven. For the sauce use 1 can cream-of-mushroom soup thickened with enough flour sauce of the consistency you prefer. Mix the flour smoothly with 1½ times as much milk; then stir it into heated soup, and stir until it has thickened. Cook 5 or 10 minutes. Or use the condensed mushroom soup thinned down to sauce consistency with milk.
