With those proportions, I'd certainly put it in a well-greased loaf
pan (9 x 13"). Bake at 375 for about 45 minutes to an hour. Before
baking, you can mix catsup, yellow mustard, some minced onion, sweet
pickle relish, Worcestershire sauce and brown sugar into a topping,
and spread it on top. Just eyeball the quantities of each ingredient
- it's not rocket science. It's really yummy.

Also, you mention she topped it with biscuits now and then - that's
good for variety, but you can also top it with mashed potatoes (add
them about 20 minutes before it's done baking, so they get lightly
browned - sooner if they're cold). The mozzarella doesn't sound right
to me - if you top it with biscuits, make some cheese biscuits, using
Cheddar (that's what I would do if I wanted biscuits on top).
