Place the two types of meat in a large mixing bowl and blend thoroughly. In a separate small bowl, beat eggs and add, salt and pepper. Add pepper, onion, and cracker crumbs to the meat mixture the eggs and combine well. Mix in tomato sauce, making sure all ingredients are well blended.
Pat into a loaf shape, smoothing sides. Place in a shallow baking pan (a rack works well if the grid bars are closely spaced). Bake at 300 degrees for about 1 hr. 15 mins. at 300 or until thoroughly cooked.

Cooking tip: Bake in a Reynolds cooking bag - it saves your oven from spatters and makes clean-up really easy!
Makes terrific sandwiches the next day.
Mary's recipe did not have specific instructions but her note after ingredients says:
Mix mustard and tomato soup in tomato juice; pour over it.
This had to be one of Mary's favorite recipes as I found it written in her recipe collection 6 times. Her onion would say a good size onion. And they would start out mix mustard; but it was never in the ingredient list.
