Meat Loaf

tailor this meatloaf to suite yourself)

Ground
Beef (I usually get a lot because I feed a lot of
people and I like leftovers.)
2 eggs (or one if you only use 1 - 1 1/2 pounds of meat)
1 onion, chopped
1 big dollop of Worchestershire sauce
salt & pepper to taste
Sometimes I add a bit of torn up sour dough bread (leftovers)
(I'm not a fan of much filler)
Ketchup for a topping

Beat
the egg then add everything together.
It's best to mix with your hands.
Form into a loaf - I usually make it about a 2 or 3 inch thick loaf and
flattened on the top - and put it in a sprayed baking dish. I cover the top with ketchup. (at this point you could add halved potatoes
of any kind around the edge.) Bake in a
350 degree preheated oven for 45 minutes to 1 hour - depending upon how much
ground beef you used. And check to make
sure the potatoes are done.

Review by Martha A Cheves, Author of Stir, Laugh, Repeat; Think With Your Taste
Buds; Stir, Laugh, Repeat & A Book and A Dish
Doug
Milligan spent part of Friday tinkering with his classic MG. His wife, Kerrie, had been in a foul mood
most of the day, no doubt because he had come home so late from work. Rather than find out exactly what her gripe
was, he elected to stay out of her way.
But when he came inside and took his shower in preparation for work, she
dogged his steps.... Doug is a policeman with a wife who isn't too happy about
her husband's choice of work.
Al
Bertalone's wife, Barbara, flung open the front door and met him on the
porch. She gave him a big kiss... As he
stepped inside, Al sniffed in an exaggerated fashion. "Is that my favorite dinner I
smell?" Barbara giggled. "If you mean spaghetti, it most
certainly is." ... Barbara patted the place where his uniform stretched
tautly over his belly. "You're the
sexiest police officer in the whole department." Al too is a policeman and best friend of
Doug. He too is married but has a wife
who not only supports his choice in occupations but is proud of him.
For
these two brave men, life is getting ready to take a dramatic turn as one of
them finds the body of a teenager that has been bitten in the neck and left
dead. But this is only the beginning of
the problems they'll encounter as they go through their task of protecting and serving. One won't make it, the other will, or will
he?
Following
Doug and Al through their daily routines... some cases simple, some actually
funny and some downright scary... I couldn't help but feel for the officers
themselves as well as the wives. The
constant fear of losing a husband has to be one that nags not only your heart
but also your mind. But when given an
ultimatum of the job or wife, what do you choose?
This
is the 1st in the Rocky Bluff P.D. series by Author F. M. Meredith. This Author has a style of her own. She actually takes you into the lives of each
character allowing you to know them personally and their connections with each
other. After you get to know them
personally you're brought into the true action of the book which allows you to
continue to feel what they feel as they step into the job they're hired to do. I can't say that I've ever read a book that
makes me a part of the story as much as this book has. I loved it and am looking forward to reading
the next book in the series Bad Tidings.
Love the review--but as usual I made a dumb mistake. It should be suit yourself not suite yourself. Thank you, Martha for this review.

Martha, you always have the tastiest reviews. I've not read this one yet but need too!
ReplyDeleteMarilyn, the meatloaf makes my mouth water. My mom never measured anything and we never had the same dish twice. Can't wait to try both the book and meatloaf!
