Stuffed Meatloaf

2 eggs
2 T milk
1/4 cup ketchup
1 1/2 t salt
1/8 t pepper
1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef

STUFFING

1/2 pound fresh mushrooms, sliced
1 medium onion, chopped
2 T butter or margarine
2 cups soft bread crumbs
2 T chopped fresh parsley
1/2 t dried thyme
1/2 t salt
1/8 t pepper

In a large bowl, beat eggs, milk, ketchup, salt and pepper. Add beef and mix well. Pat half of the meat mixture into a greased 9x5x3" loaf pan; set aside. For stuffing, saute the mushrooms and onion in butter until tender, about 3 minutes. Add bread crumbs; parsley, thyme, salt and pepper; saute until crumbs are lightly browned. Spoon over meat layer; cover with remaining meat mixture and press down gently. Bake at 350�F for 1 hour until no pink remains, draining fat when necessary.
