My mother used to make a Mushroom Meat Loaf using Cream of Mushroom Soup. I didn’t even like mushrooms but when I was recovering from illness, which was at least once a winter, she could persuade me to eat that when I didn’t feel like eating anything else. I haven’t found the recipe in any of the Campbell’s Soup cookbooks, and she didn’t write it down.
