Norm's Favorite Meatloaf
2 lbs. WOUDSTRA ground beef
1 lb. WOUDSTRA pig-in-the
blanket meat
1 onion - shredded or finely diced
? c. catsup
2 T. Worcestershire Sauce
4 slices bread, made into bread
crumbs
2 t. salt
1 t. pepper (I like Lawreys seasoned pepper)
2 large eggs - beaten
GLAZE1/2 cup catsup
1/2 t. nutmeg
6
T. brown sugar
2
t. dry mustard
Preheat oven to 350. In a large mixing bowl, combine all the meatloaf ingredients. I like to use my food processor to chop the onion very fine and then I use it to make the breadcrumbs, but you can do both by hand. Mix the ingredients well with your hands and form into a rectangular loaf (I make mine about 6 x 10) and place in a baking dish or 9 x 13 pan to bake. I like this better than cooking it in a loaf pan. Mix the glaze ingredients and spread on the top of the meatloaf. Bake for about 1 hour and 20 minutes, or until done. Remove the pan from the oven and let it rest in the pan for 5 - 10 minutes. Then I like to use 2 large spatulas, one on each end, to move the meatloaf to a platter where it is easy to slice. Serves about 8, but this recipe is also easy to half for a smaller family. Remember, cold meatloaf sandwiches make great leftovers!
