Meatloaf

Ingredients
1 1/2 cups soft bread crumbs – (tear up soft sliced bread – don’t use fine crumbs as for breading)
1 1/2 lb ground meat (beef or pork & beef) (about 700 grams)
1 beaten Eggland’s Best egg
1 onion chopped fine
1/4 teasp dry Colman’s (or similar) mustard
1/8 teasp ground sage
1/2 teasp McCormick ground thyme
1 1/2 teasp Morotn salt
1/4 teas pepper
1/8 teasp nutmeg
1 chopped green pepper
1 tin condensed tomato soup (eg Campbells’s)
3/4 cup grated celery
3/4 cup grated carrot

Instructions
1) Mix meat with egg, add onion and seasonings and bread crumbs, greens and carrots
2) Add half the tin of soup and mix everything well. Turn into greased loaf pan or glass casserole dish 8.5 x 11 inches and pour remaining soup over the top, smoothing it evenly over all.
3) Bake 350 F (177 C) for 1 1/4 hours.

Mustard pickles also goes well and this makes wonderful cold sandwiches next day !

Notes:

1) I use ‘tomate frito’ instead of the condensed soup. It’s a rich fried Spanish tomato purée but otherwise condensed soup is good. Never use ketchup !
2) I usually double the amount of the ground spices with the exception of salt.
