Luncheon-Meat Loaf Source: Make Your Own Convenience Foods
2 lbs ground beef 1 lb ground pork 2 eggs 1 cup finely ground bread crumbs or 1 cup raw wheat germ or bran 2 Tbsp tamari sauce or 2 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce 2-3 dashes Tabasco 1 tsp salt 1 tsp garlic powder 1 tsp onion powder
Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix well. If necessary add a small amount of milk or water to make mixture workable. Line a loaf pan with plastic wrap.
Pack mixture into pan and beat it with the spoon so it's tightly packed with no air pockets. Invert onto a rack set in a shallow roasting pan. Bake in preheated 300 degree oven until internal temperature on a meat thermometer reaches 190 degrees, about 1 hour. Cool completely, then slice.
Variations: Use all beef, all pork or even pork sausage. Vary spices to taste. Insert hard boiled eggs into the center as you fill the loaf pan. Add 1/2 tsp each oregano and basil and dust with paprika for an Italian loaf.
