Beef and Potato Loaf

I found one of those really old church cookbooks the other night, and made one dish that was really good. I happened to change some of the ingredients from the original recipe, and I liked the way it turned out. If you’re looking for a filling meal for your family, this one might be a good recipe to try.

In a two-quart baking dish, place:

4 cups potatoes (sliced very thin)
1 T. minced garlic
1/2 t. salt
1/2 t. pepper
1 T. dried parsley

Then, mix the following:

1 pound ground beef
2 cups bread crumbs or ground up soda crackers
1/4 c. onion, diced
3/4 c. evaporated milk
1/4 c. ketchup
1 t. salt

Spread the mix over the potatoes, and bake at 350 degrees for one hour.

This is a great recipe to “stretch” your dollars. And who doesn’t need to do that these days! It’s also a good way to use ground beef that’s slightly different than meatloaf.
