Steps:

• Preheat over to 375.
• Place bread on a plate and cover with the milk. Let sit to absorb.
• In a small saucepan bring the broth or water with 1 T. of the butter or margarine, a little pepper and a pinch of salt to a boil. At the same time heat the kasha in a skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, toasting lightly. When broth/water comes to a boil add the toasted kasha and cook for about 10 minutes, covered until water is absorbed. Let cool slightly.
• In a skillet, melt 1 T. butter and cook onion and garlic over medium heat. Once the onions are translucent add the mushrooms and cook another 5 minutes.

Put in a medium bowl and add kasha mixture, onion mixture, milk soaked bread, potatoes or walnuts, beets, chili sauce or ketchup, worcestershire, pickle juice, soy sauce, dill and marjoram. Mix this very well until everything is completely incorporated. Give a taste and add fresh pepper and (if needed) salt. Add the egg and mix completely.
• Butter a loaf pan. Add 1/2 cup chili sauce or ketchup to the bottom of the pan. Add the "meatloaf" mixture and even out the top. Add another 1/2 cup of chili sauce or ketchup to the top. With a fork, poke a few holes in the top to let steam escape.
