What got me Started on Marion's recipes

Marion Cunningham's "American Meatloaf" from "The Supper Book." it is cooked freeform shaped into an oval on a bakingsheet

Preheat oven  to 350
finely chop the following and sautee in 2 Tbs butter over medium heat until soft:
1 large onion
2-3 med. carrots
2-3 stalks celery
In a large (very large) bowl, combine:
1/2 lb ground pork
1 lb ground beef
the sauteed veggies
3 cloves minced garlic (I increase this amount a bit)
1 1/4 cup fresh bread crumbs
1 tsp. salt or to taste
black pepper to taste
3/4 tsp. nutmeg
1/8 tsp. cayenne
1 1/2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup ketchup
2/3 cup water
Thoroughly combine the above with your hands and pat into shape in a baking pan. Don't press together too firmly--use a light touch and it will be tender. Bake 45-50 mins in 350 degree oven. Good when baked with potatoes and onions, carrots, or any other such winter veggie. Makes fabulous sandwiches the next day. Meatloaf sandwiches are my fave! This makes a TON of meatloaf.
