MEATLOAF 
2 eggs
3/4 c. milk
1/2 c. fine dry bread crumbs
1/4 c. finely chopped onion
2 tbsp. snipped parsley
1 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. pepper
1/2 tsp. ground sage
1 1/2 lb. ground beef
1/4 c. catsup
2 tbsp. brown sugar
1 tsp. dry mustard

Combine eggs and milk; stir in crumbs, onion, parsley, salt, sage and pepper. Add beef; mix well. Pat into a 5 1/2 cup ring mold; unmold in a shallow baking pan.

Bake at 350 degrees for 50 minutes (or pat mixture into an 8 inch loaf pan and bake for 1 1/4 hours). Spoon off excess fat. Combine catsup, sugar and mustard; spread over meat. Return to oven for 10 minutes.

To Microwave: Prepare mixture as above. Pat into a 5 1/2 cup ring mold and unmold into a 9 or 10 inch pie plate (non-metal). Do not use a loaf pan. Cover with waxed paper. Cook on HIGH 12 to 13 minutes until done, giving dish a quarter turn every 3 minutes. Spoon off excess fat. Combine catsup, sugar and mustard; spread over meat. Let stand 5 minutes.

Since microwave ovens vary in power, you may need to adjust your cooking time.
