Meat Loaf

Do you remember the hamburger loaf we had last February? It was supposed to be Meat Loaf, but we forgot the bread crumbs! So it was really just a great big burger...and not very good. I admit it. This recipe --although it's clearly not Grammy's, was in her box, and it looks pretty good. Next time I make Meat Loaf I will use this recipe.

Meat Loaf
1 lb. ground beef
1/2 lb. ground veal
1/2 lb. ground pork
1 tsp. Worcestershire souce
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups cracker crumbs
3/4 cup catsup
1/2 cup warm water
1 pkg. dry onion soup mix
4 strips bacon
1 8-oz. can tomato sauce

Preheat oven to 350. Mix meats together by hand in large bowl. Add Worcestershire, eggs, cracker crumbs, catsup, water, and soup mix. Mix. Shape into a loaf in a shallow baking dish. cover with bacon then pour tomato sauce over the loaf. Bake 1 1/2 to 2 hours or until done. Serves 6 to 8.
