Recipe - Beef Loaf

4 lg Eggs; slightly beaten
2 2/3 cup Milk
12 sl Bread; minced
One fourth cup Instant minced onion
1 cup Celery; finely chopped
4 teaspoon Salt
One half teaspoon Pepper
1 cup Catsup
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
6 pound Lean ground beef

Preheat oven to 375ø F. (moderate). Have four 8x8x2inch baking pans
ready. Do not line pans for this recipe.

Mix eggs and milk. Add remaining ingredients except meat. Beat well. Mix
in meat lightly. Divide mixture into four parts. Press each part into a
baking pan. Pack mixture tightly to avoid air pockets. Bake 1 hour or
until loaf is done.

TO SERVE WITHOUT FREEZING: Serve immediately after removing from the oven.

TO FREEZE: Cool for 30 minutes at room temperature. Remove from pans and
place on freezer wrap. Allow extra wrap to fold over top. Complete
wrapping by pulling paper up over top of food. Put edges of wrap together
and fold several times so paper lies directly on top of food. Fold ends of
freezer wrap over the top and seal with freezer tape. Label with name of
food, date of freezing, and last date the food should be used for best
eating quality (about 6 months). Freeze immediately for 10 to 12 hours
before removing packages from the pans.

TO HEAT FROZEN FOOD: Preheat oven to 375ø F. (hot). Remove freezer wrap.
Place food in baking pan. Bake 1 hour or until center is hot.
