Meat Loaf Recipe


Ingredients:
2 pound ground beef
1 medium onion, diced
1 egg
2 slices of sandwich bread, torn up into crumbs
2-3 slices of bacon, cut in half to make them shorter
Catsup

Procedure:

Mix together the ground beef, onion, egg and bread crumbs in a large bowl together with a
with a couple of squirts from the catsup bottle. I usually use my hands to mix this with because
the mixture is thick and is hard to stir with a spoon or spatula. Form the mixture into a loaf and
place in a shallow ungreased baking dish.

For a traditional topping, add a couple of more squirts of catsup onto the top of the loaf
and spread it around with the back of a spoon. Then lay the half strips of bacon to cover the
catsup and the loaf.

Put the loaf in a 350 degree oven for a little over an hour until done! Take it out of the
baking dish right away so that it does not soak up the grease released by the baking. Let the
loaf rest on a serving plate for five minutes or so – that will allow it to set for easier slicing.

For my Aunt shela’ Italian meatloaf variant you will need these additional
ingredients


4-5 slices deli cold cut ham
6-8 thin slices mozzarella cheese
Garlic Powder
Oregano

For the Italian variant from Aunt shela: Add several pinches of oregano and garlic powder
to the mix. Then lay out the mix on a hard surface and press and spread it out in a rectangle of
about 16x11 inches. Then place several slices of mozzarella cheese and deli cold cut ham in the
middle of the rectangle and roll it all up like a sandwich wrap. Be careful to use some extra
ground beef to patch the outside parts where the cheese may show through or else when it
bakes the cheese will all ooze out. Bake normally. Add a couple of slices of mozzarella cheese
This becomes a great combo of melted meats and cheese.
