Swedish Meatloaf

Ingredients:
Meatloaf
* 1 can (4 ounces) mushrooms, drained and finely chopped (I hate cooked mushrooms, so I skip this)
* 1/2 cup onion, finely chopped
* 1/4 cup fresh parsley
* 1 cup fresh rye or white bread crumbs (about 2 slices of bread)
* 2/3 cup milk
* 1 egg
* 1 1/4 teaspoons salt
* 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
* 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice or nutmeg
* 1 pound lean (90%) ground beef
* 1 pound ground pork

Noodles and Cream Gravy
* 1 package (12 ounces) uncooked egg noodles
* 1 jar (12 ounces) mushroom or beef gravy (I've only tried beef)
* 2 tablespoons milk
* 1/4 cup sour cream

1. Preheat oven to 350 F. Mix mushrooms, onions, parsley, bread crumbs, milk, egg and seasonings.
2. Crumble beef and pork into mix. Mix lightly.
3. Shape into loaf pan.
4. Bake 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 hour 20 minutes or until internal temp is 160 degrees.
5. Meanwhile cook noodles, drain. For creamy gravy, heat gravy in saucepan with milk on medium heat, stirring constantly. Whisk in sour cream.

Serve meatloaf over noodles.
