Instructions
Soak the bread crumbs in the milk. Cook the onion in the butter until tender. Combine the bread crumbs, onion, ground meat, egg, lemon juice, and seasoning; mix these ingredients thoroughly. Be sure to season well with salt and pepper. Shape the mixture into a loaf and place it in a lightly greased pan. Brush the top with melted fat. Cover with greased paper or aluminum foil and bake in a moderate oven (350°F.) for 1 hour. When the loaf is partially baked, pour the hot soup stock or water over it, cover, and continue baking. Baste frequently. Remove the paper or aluminum foil for the last 1/4 hour of the baking period. When done, blend the flour with the sour cream or tomato juice and pour over the meat. Let it cook a while longer to blend the flavors. Remove the loaf to a hot platter. Season the sauce with salt and pepper, and then strain it. Cut the loaf into slices and pour the sauce over them.
Stuffed Meat Loaf:
Follow the preceding recipe for Meat Loaf. Use any favorite stuffing. Flatten the prepared meat mixture 1 inch thick on a floured waxed paper. Spread the stuffing over it and roll into a roll, sealing the edges. Slip carefully from the paper into a greased loaf pan. Cook as directed.
Suggested Stuffings:
Baked Buckwheat Kasha: Use a small quantity of cooked plain kasha or vary it with chopped browned mushrooms or chopped ham. An addition of a raw egg will help to keep the grains from separating, if the kasha is crumbly.
Hard cooked Eggs: Place the whole eggs lengthwise on the flattened meat and shape into a loaf.
Dill Pickles: Use long pickles and arrange them lengthwise on the meat. Shape into a loaf.
Bread Stuffing: Use any favorite preparation.
Mushrooms: Prepare a thick mixture of cooked mushrooms.
Sauerkraut: Use any favorite preparation.
