Tired of meatloaf you say? Then wait until you taste this wonderful creation that a friend made for me a few years ago. I begged for the recipe. I admit, I have not ventured to make this myself because my family doesn't care for meatloaf, but I can certainly vouch for the outstanding taste. Ingredients:
3 eggs |
1/2 cup ketchup |
2 1/2 teaspoons seasoning salt |
2 teaspoons worcestershire sauce |
1/2 teaspoon ground mustard |

1/2 lb ground veal |
1/2 lb ground pork |
1/3 cup onion, chopped finely |
3/4 cup dry breadcrumbs |
1 (17 1/4 ounce) package puff pastry |
