Ingredients: 2 pounds of ground beef
2 eggs, beaten
1/4 cup of milk (I have always just guessed, never measured)
couple of dashes of worcestershire sauce

dried onions
saltine crackers, crumbled (about 10 or 12, just eyeball it)
I also put a shake of seasoned bread crumbs - Mom did not
2 small cans of tomato sauce
pat of butter

Directions: |
Directions:in a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs with a fork, add the onions, salt and pepper, milk, Worchestershire. then crumble the the crackers and mix well.
add the ground beef and mix together thoroughly -get in there with your hands, you know you want to! Then form into two equal sized loaves.
Heat the butter in the bottom of a dutch over on the stove. put the loaves in and brown on one side, then flip and brown on the other side. Next pour a can of tomato sauce on each loaf. Add about 1/3 of can of water to each can and drizzle over the loaves. cover the pan and cook on medium heat for about 45 minutes. I always have to check because I never use exactly the same amount of meat. Now the tricky part comes after the meat is cooked - remove from the pan and set aside. Take a cup of water and mix a table spoon or two of Wondra flour until mixed thoroughly. add a capful of browning sauce (kitchen Bouquet) to the pan drippings and bring to a boil. then stir in the flour/water and stir until desired thickness. |

Notes: This was a favorite of all Flo and John V' kids growing up, and became a second generation favorite with my boys. I am sure many of the other grandkids love it also. By the way, it must be served with mashed potatoes!
