2. Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, chopped onion, egg, chopped canned mushrooms (including the liquid for enhanced flavor), tomato sauce, and garlic powder. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.

3. Shape & Bake: Transfer the mixture into a loaf pan, shaping it into a uniform loaf. Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

4. Add Catsup: Once the meatloaf is fully cooked, remove it from the oven. Optionally, pour catsup over the top of the meatloaf immediately after removing it from the oven. This adds a delightful sweetness to the dish.

5. Rest & Serve: Allow the meatloaf to rest for at least 5 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a moist and flavorful meatloaf.

6. Storage: If you have leftovers, remove any excess liquid from the loaf pan, then cover the meatloaf and refrigerate it. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
