Depression Meatloaf image

While (attempting to) clean out my recipe drawer, I came across this recipe, which I had copied several years ago. I don't remember if the original recipe was in a cookbook - magazine - website - or where! It is one of MANY recipes I have saved, but have not gotten around to trying -yet! It uses basic ingredients, but sounds...

Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 small can evaporated milk
2 slice bread
1/3 c chopped onion
3/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1 lb ground beef
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/4 c ketchup
2 strips bacon, cut in half

Steps:

  • 1. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
  • 2. In a large bowl, pour milk over the bread. Let stand until the milk is absorbed.
  • 3. Add onion, salt and pepper. Stir with a fork until bread softens and is light and fluffy.
  • 4. Mix in ground beef; stir in beaten egg. Shape into a loaf. Place in lightly greased baking dish.
  • 5. Spread loaf with ketchup; top with bacon strips. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes to 1 hour.
  • 6. *The original recipe did not call for the egg; I think eggs were in short supply during the depression. Maybe the canned milk helps it hold together? Anyway, I added the egg to the recipe just in case I had inadvertantly not copied the recipe correctly!
