Ruth, amended for UK comprehension! Delicious both hot and cold! Simply because of the pack sized I bought, i used much more sausagemeat and less mince. It says for 10! Well that is a generous 10! 4 of us ate it hot (3 with large appetites and me!), the next day 4 ate it cold. And I froze 1/3 of it uncooked!

If you haven't got a US cup for measuring - I cup is about 2/3 of a small mug.
I used a med loaf tin for the 2/3 and put the rest in a foil case for freezing
When I checked it after 45 mins, swimming in liquid and was worried, but it all vanished by end!

Pepsi's Meatloaf:

2 X 1/3 cups salted crackers (TUC or Ritz); crushed, but not too much, by rolling in plastic bag.
2lbs lean mince beef
1/2 lb sausagemeat
large egg
2 med onions chopped
i med green pepper, minced
3/4 cup tomato ketchup for mix
1/4 cup tomato ketchup for topping
1/3 cup worcestershire sauce
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
not in original recipe but I will add next time, chopped fresh herbs

mix together all ingredients except topping tom ket (by hand)
oven 325F, foil covered
after 45 mins, remove foil
pour over topping ketchup
back uncovered for one hour
stand 10 mins before serving

Topic: RE: Monday musing

I'm a bit of a mixture!! Most of my teaching career was teaching Psychology and Sociology A Level and Law GCSE. And in my last mainstream school, I was Work Experience and Careers Co-ordinator.

Then I got fed up with all the initiatives! And working every weekend, every evening and most of my holidays! So I changed careers! And I have just retired after 7 years as a class teacher of MLD and SLD teenagers! The MLD were the sort who were borderline able to go to a mainstream comp and so added severe behaviour problems to their overall learning disability (including autism) - so challenging! But the last two years I had SLD students - several Downs and other less known syndromes.

A fantastic 7 years!!! Kate
