A Family Favorite Main Dish

Meat Loaf

Heat oven to 350°

3 slices of soft bread broken in pieces

1/2 cup milk

1 egg

1 1/4 teaspoons salt

1/4 cup minced onion

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

1 1/2 lbs. ground beef

Combine the first 6 ingredients together in a bowl. Mix in the ground beef. Form the mixture into a loaf and place in a 9 inch loaf pan. Bake 1 hour. This makes 6 to 8 servings.

To make the loaf fancier, try one of the following ideas:

Toppings:Spread 3 tablespoons catsup or chili sauce over the top of the loaf before baking.

Frosted:When loaf is baked, frost the top with mashed potatoes. Sprinkle with paprika and broil until golden.

I thought I would take the time to share some of my favorite recipes with you. The following recipe is an old one that I got from a friend many years ago. It is a favorite with my family when chocolate is what they want. I hope you enjoy it too.

1/3 cup cocoa

1 teaspoon vanilla

1/3 cup crunchy peanut butter
