CRUSTY MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Mix the beef with half of the egg whites. Soften the oats in the wine and add them to the meat along with the garlic, onion, milk, tomato paste, parsley and thyme. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Shape the mixture into two loaves. Place them on a rack in a shallow baking pan that will hold them without crowding.
• Mix the bread crumbs with the remaining egg whites and frost the loaves all over with this mixture. Bake about 1 1/2 hours, until the loaves are crusty and brown. Serve at once or allow to cool, then refrigerate. The loaves can be reheated -- whole or sliced -- in a conventional oven or a microwave oven or sliced and used for sandwiches.

MEAT LOAF

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 425°F.
• 2. Combine all the ingredients with your scrupulously clean hands. Arrange in a standard 9 1/4 by 5 1/4 by 2 3/4-inch loaf pan lined with oiled aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes.
• 3. Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F and continue to bake 30 minutes longer, basting with water as necessary. The meat loaf is done when an attractive brown crust has formed on top and the juices run clear.
• 4. Let the meat loaf stand for 10 minutes. Then grasp the top of the aluminum foil at both ends of the loaf and pull it out of the pan and onto a serving platter. Raise the loaf off the foil with a spatula and slip out the foil.
• 5. Serve with ketchup and/or the hot sauce or chutney of your choice. Like all meat loaves, this one is excellent eaten at room temperature.
