Meat Loaf (A Meal In One) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 1/2 lb. ground beef
1/2 c. catsup
2 eggs
1/4 c. saltine crackers
1 slice bread, crumbled
salt and pepper to taste
1 small onion, chopped fine
6 medium potatoes, sliced
5 small carrots, sliced
1 medium onion, sliced
1/2 c. water

Preparation

Mix ground beef, catsup, eggs, crackers, bread, salt and pepper together.
Beat and punch down mixture well (the more you beat and punch down mixture, the more firm your meat loaf will be).
Shape into oblong shape or ball and put in deep baking pan or dish.
Put sliced potatoes, carrots and onion around meat loaf. Add water.
Cover and bake at 375\u00b0 for about 1 to 1 1/2 hours or until potatoes and carrots are soft and done.
(Make sure the water does not cook all the way out, you might have to add a little more.
This makes the meat loaf moist.)
