Meatloaf is one of those reassuring foods: simple to make, relatively cheap, nostalgic. Monday was typically “meatloaf night” at our house growing up. We’d have it for dinner with baked potatoes and some sort of green vegetable and watch M*A*S*H while we ate. I’m not sure what’s on now Monday nights, but the recipe is still good.
Ingredients:
1 egg, beaten
¼ cup milk
1 tablespoon Worchestershire sauce
1 teaspoon salt
Dash pepper
¼ finely chopped onion
1 cup small bread cubes
1 pound ground beef (the leaner, the better)
Process:
Beat together the egg, milk and Worchestershire sauce. Add the salt, pepper and onions and beat again. Stir in the bread crumbs and let them “sit” a moment to soak up the milk and egg mixture.
Next fold in the beef , blending it thoroughly with the other ingredients. Divide the mixture into two portions and shape into small loaves—one for tonight, one for later in the week. Place them a few inches apart in a Pyrex dish and bake at 400 for 35-40 minutes. Serve with some homey vegetables like mashed potatoes and kale that’s been sautéed with onions and garlic.
