Meat Loaf: My Favorite Recipe



2 pounds ground beef
1 pound ground pork or sausage
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 large onion, finely chopped
1-1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
1 tsp thyme
1 tsp summer savory
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
2 eggs, lightly beaten

Thoroughly blend everything but the eggs. Then, add the eggs and blend again. Form the meat into a loaf, and place in a glass baking dish. Bake at 350 degrees until the center is 150 degrees, about 60 to 90 minutes.

This recipe is after a James Beard recipe.

I am reminded of Tom Bodett, who talked about his secret strategy for getting his hands clean after working on his car's engine: make a meat loaf. He said the ladies at the church potluck never did figure out his secret ingredient.
