For a light, fluffy meat loaf, use coarsely ground meat. Spoon the mixture into the pan and do not pack it down. Finely chopped ingredients will make a dense loaf. Use ground beef, pork, ham, or veal, or combine two or more meats.

Basic meat loaf 

To 1 pound of ground meat, add 1 cup loosely packed bread crumbs soaked in ‘/2 cup milk or broth with 1 beaten egg. Add 2 tablespoons minced onion, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon prepared mustard, and 3 tablespoons ketchup; blend well. Place in a deep roasting pan and shape into a loaf. Or pack the mixture into a loaf pan. Bake at 350°F for 1 hour or until the juice runs clear. Favorite toppings are tomato sauce, barbecue sauce, or ketchup.
