Nonna's Meatloaf
Real Italian Meatloaf

My Nonna made the best meatloaf in the world.
It was nice and firm, moist and tasted great.
One day I was in the kitchen when she was
putting one together, I was in amazement!
No measuring no thinking about anything,
she was talking to me all the time while
combining all of the ingredients in a bowl.
Later on that day it asked her for her recipe,
she said in broken english, "A little this and that".
Here is her recipe from one of her recipe files.

Ingredients:
1/2 pound ground meat, beef
1/2 pound ground meat, pork
1 large egg
1/4 cup milk
3 slices wheat bread, crumbled
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard

Dirctions:
In a large bowl combine meats, egg, pepper
garlic, seasonings,and mustard.
Mix until just combined, do not over mix.
In another bowl place bread and milk,
let sit until milk is absorbed the squeeze
out milk and add to meat mixture.
Stir to combine.
Place in a greesed casserole dish
and form into a oblong shape.
Cover with tomato paste and bake for
45 minutes or so until browned and cooked.
Remove from oven and let sit to cool 10 minutes,
allow juices to be reabsorbed into meatloaf.
