  3. Everyday Meat Loaf

    May 19, 2008 by Tarrant Figlio

    This recipe is from a hand bound, adorable, cookbook created by the Alachua General Hospital Auxiliary in 1969. I will have pictures soon. You will love the cover–little felted pink dresses on oilskin. This makes little cupcake meatloaves so perfect if you live alone or have a small family.

    2/3  c saltine crackers
    1 c milk
    1 1/2 lbs ground beef
    2 beaten eggs
    1 envelope Lipton onion soup mix
    catsup for sauce

    Soak crackers in milk, add meat, eggs, and soup mix. Mix well. Form well-rounded loaves in greased cupcake pans. Top with catsup. Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes depending on degree of doneness. Makes 8 individual loaves.  Mrs Karl the Losen

    As you can see by the quantities, this makes quite the cheese roll. However, it is easy to halve and such a yummy retro appetizer. Nini made this often as did my mother for all nature of parties. Serve with crackers, bread, spoon (ok, just kidding about the spoon, but I do like it a lot)

    Cheese Roll

    1 lb blue cheese
    1 lb Roquefort
    1/2 lb Philadelphia Cream Cheese
    Tabasco
    Worcestershire
    Horseradish (lots)
    Garlic
    Onion juice
    Mustard

    Heat in double boiler over medium heat until cheese is melted and ingredients are blended. Let harden in ice box. Roll in paprika on waxed paper.
