3 slices bread
Water
1 clove garlic, crushed & peeled
1 sm. onion, finely chopped
1/4 c. finely chopped celery
1/2 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. pepper
1 egg, slightly beaten
1/3 c. milk
1 lb. lean ground beef
1/4 c. catsup

1. In a small bowl soak bread in water to cover 5 minutes. Squeeze out excess water.

2. In a large bowl combine bread, garlic, onion, celery, salt, pepper, egg and milk. Stir until well blended. Crumble ground beef into bread mixture and stir to combine thoroughly.

3. Shape meat mixture into a loaf and place in a shallow heat resistant non- metallic baking dish. I double this recipe and use a microwave bundt pan.

4. Heat uncovered on full power 6 1/2 minutes.

5. Spread catsup over top of meat loaf and heat, uncovered on full power 5 1/2 minutes. Double cooking time too.
