Glazed Meat Loaf

  I had intended to make our usual meatloaf for supper and at the last minute did not have enough lemon for the recipe. Instead I got out the Ground Beef Cookbook and tried a recipe from it.

  As I had a pound and a half of ground beef to use, the recipe had to have that much ground beef, and some sort of topping.

  The result was this recipe for Glazed Meat Loaf. It was very good, easy to put together and I will use it to vary the menu. 

  I used V8 juice instead of tomato juice as that was what I had on hand. It worked quite well and we have enough for another meal. Hot meatloaf sandwiches are a favorite of Lyle’s. Bettie and I will just eat ours with out the bread. I like to have planned leftovers for the weekend when I don’t want to cook.
