Ingredients for Meatloaf Recipe:
2 pounds ground chuck (not ground beef)
4 ounces onions, finely chopped
3 ounces Worcestershire sauce
3 ounces ketchup
2 cups soft bread crumbs
3 eggs, beaten
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon salt
2-4 slices bacon (medium to thick cut preferred)
Instructions for Meatloaf Recipe:
Combine and thoroughly mix all ingredients being careful to mix lightly (mixing too vigorously
will cause the meatloaf to be tough)
Form one or two meat loaves and place in one or two loaf pans
Top each loaf with 2 slices of bacon
Bake in 350 degree F oven for about one hour and 10 minutes
Drain off fat
Let sit several minutes before slicing or refrigerate and slice cold
(To reheat: place slices in covered skillet with a little chicken or beef stock over low heat until
hot. Microwaving not recommended.)
You're now ready to serve it with some potatoes (mashed or otherwise) and vegetables
Any meatloaf remaining can be used in soup or spaghetti sauce or on sandwiches (also loved by
my guests - see below).
