Sabbath Meat Loaf

1½ lbs. Ground beef

1 teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

1 egg, slightly beaten

1 small onion, minced

½ cup bread crumbs

2 tablespoons tomato juice

3 hard-cooked eggs

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Tomato Slices

Onion Slices

Mix together, ground beef, salt, pepper, beaten egg, minced onion, and bread crumbs.

Pack half of the meat mixture into a well-greased 9”x5”x3” loaf pan,

smoothing the surface.

Gently press the 3 hard-cooked eggs down the center, the length of the pan. Cover with the remaining half of the meat mixture.

Arrange tomato & onion slices on top of the meat loaf and then drizzle the 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over the tomato & onion slices.

Cover tightly with foil.

Bake in a pre-heated oven 350°F (176°C) for 1½ hours. Remove foil and bake for an additional ½ hour.

Serve hot or cold.
