Meat Loaf
1 pound lean ground beef
1 clove garlic
OR
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1 small onion
2 slices bread with crust
1/4 cup milk
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon chopped fresh sage
OR
1/4 teaspoon dried sage leaves
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground mustard (dry)
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 egg
1/3 cup ketchup
OR
1/3 cup chili sauce
OR
1/3 cup barbecue sauce
Heat oven to 350ş. Break up the beef into small pieces in a large bowl,
using a fork or spoon.
Peel and finely chop the garlic. Peel the onion, and chop enough of the
onion into small pieces to measure 3 tablespoons. Wrap remaining piece of
onion, and refrigerate for another use. Add the garlic and onion to the
beef.
Tear the bread into small pieces and add to beef mixture.
Add the milk, Worcestershire sauce, sage, salt, mustard, pepper and egg to
the beef mixture. Mix with a fork, large spoon or your hands until the
ingredients are well mixed.
Place the beef mixture in the ungreased baking pan. Almost any size pan
will work; just be sure the pan has sides on it to catch the juices that
will accumulate while the meat loaf bakes. Shape the mixture into an 8 ×
4-inch loaf in the pan, and spread ketchup over the top.
Bake uncovered 50 to 60 minutes or until beef in center of loaf is no
longer pink. Cut a small slit near center of loaf; meat and juices should
no longer be pink. A meat thermometer inserted in the center of the loaf
should read 160ş. Let the loaf stand 5 minutes, so it will be easier to
remove from the pan. Cut the loaf into slices.

Tips
For more flavor, purchase a meat loaf mixture of ground beef, lamb
and pork, already prepared in your supermarket meat case.
To save time, purchase fresh garlic already chopped or crushed.
You’ll find it in the produce section of the supermarket. Store it
in the refrigerator after opening the jar.
