2 (3)       slices bread of your choice

DIRECTIONS:
1. In a medium-large bowl, stir together milk, egg, Worcestershire Sauce and salt.
2. Tear bread into small pieces and stir into liquid mixture till all is “smooshed up”.
3. Add meat and onion and mix well. Grandma Rains mixed it with her hands. (Clean ones, that is!)
4. Put into an 8”x4” (9”x5”) loaf pan.
5. Make a channel/indentation lengthwise down the middle of the meat and fill with ketchup.
6. Bake at 350 degrees F for 1 hour. (Baked potatoes can be put in the oven to bake along with the meatloaf. If eating large baked potatoes, they need a little more than an hour.)

Serve with additional ketchup and baked potatoes, and something green.
