A Tale of Two Meatloaves

Madison Cooks!

Archimedes’ Meat Loaf (from the Walt Disney Cookbook), serves 8

1 egg
1 1/2 lbs ground beef
3/4 cup bread crumbs or 3 slices of bread, torn into tiny pieces
1/2 cup canned tomato sauce or ketchup
1 tsp onion salt
1 tsp salt

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  In a large bowl, combine all ingredients and mix well with your hands.  (Madison loves “mixing the brains”.)  Place the mixture in a 9x5x3 loaf pan and pat the mixture evenly with your fingers to make the top smooth.  Bake for 1 hour and let stand for 10 minutes after removing from the oven.
