French Meat Loaf

I still had a few recipes from Hubby's grandmother to use, so I made a 'traditional' Sunday dinner, starting with this meatloaf.  Don't let the horseradish scare you off - it adds a nice flavor, but you wouldn't know it is horseradish (and I bought the HOT).  Of coarse, after I mixed it, I found a note at the end of the recipe that said my grandmother in law used 1/2 cup of breadcrumbs and reduce milk to 1/2 cup, but too late once already  mixed and in the pan :)  We still loved it.

1 1/2 Cup French Bread, cut into small cubes
1 Cup Milk
2 lb Ground Beef
1/2 Cup Celery, Chopped
1/2 Cup Carrot, Grated
1 Large Egg
1 Tbl Horseradish
2 Tsp Salt
1/4 Tsp Pepper

Heat oven to 350 degrees.  Mix all ingredients and press into a 9 inch loaf pan.  Bake for 1 to 1 1/2 hours until 155 degrees.

Dorothy Thomas Meatloaf

I found two recipes for meatloaf in the recipes my mother in law shared with me.  This one was the most heavily used.  On the recipe card, it is attributed to Mary P.  When I talked to my mother in law, she told me that Mary was a neighbor and friend of the family. 

2 lbs ground beef
2 Tbl Horseradish
1/2 cup ketchup
1/2 cup milk
2 cups bread crumbs
1 tsp salt
1 tsp dry mustard
3/4 cup onion
1/4 cup green pepper
2 eggs

400 degrees, 35 minutes

That is it, everything that was on the recipe card.  Here is some additional detail:

I only used 1/4 cup onion due to allergies.

This makes a LARGE meat loaf, so to get it to cook in that time frame, you should divide it between two pans or cook it in a large, flat pan, such as a round cake pan.
