Mushroom Meatloaf

Trust me this isn't an ordinary meat loaf. My husband hates onions and mushrooms but he doesn't even know they are in it! Both of us hate traditional meat loaf, so I surfed through the internet until coming across something without catsup. Once I varied the ingredients a little bit, it turned out awesome.if you have a Magic Bullet (60 bucks at Wal-mart, use it to make bread crumbs instead of tearing, the bread, it comes out a lot nicer. I also use double the amount of Worcestershire sauce in mine because I like it a lot.

Ingredients

• 1 1⁄2 lbs ground beef, but 85% works well too (preferably 93% lean)

• 2  slices  bread (torn into very small pieces)
• 2  teaspoons parsley flakes
