An old favorite in a new shape. This round loaf cooks more evenly in the microwave than the usual rectangular shape.

1 1/2 lbs. meat loaf mix (1/2 lb. ground beef, 1/2 lb. ground pork and 1/2 lb. ground veal) or 1 1/2 lbs. ground beef
1 onion, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
2 tablespoons finely chopped green pepper
1/2 teaspoon thyme
1 egg, lightly beaten
2 teaspoons Gravy Master
1 tablespoon catsup
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/2 cup dry bread crumbs
1 teaspoon dry mustard

For the glaze:

1 tablespoon Gravy Master
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
1 tablespoon meatloaf juices

Directions:

1. Lightly mix all meatloaf ingredients and fill a 9-inch microwaveable ring mold (or make a ring by inverting a custard cup in the center of a 9-inch pie plate).
   
2. Cover meat with waxed paper and microwave on HIGH 10 minutes. Rotate loaf and cook 10 minutes more. Pour off drippings and discard fat. Let loaf stand while making the glaze.
   
3. To make glaze: combine 1 tablespoon of the meat juices with 1 tablespoon of Gravy Master and 1/2 teaspoon of mustard in a custard cup. Microwave on HIGH 1 minute. Brush over the loaf. Makes 6 servings.
