2 lb lean ground meat
1 1/2 cup bread crumbs
1 large onion, chopped
1 can (8 oz) tomato sauce
1 large egg
1 tbsp my seasoning (follows)
1 medium green pepper, chopped
SAUCE
1/2 cup water
3 tbsp vinegar
3 tbsp brown sugar
2 tbsp prepared mustard
1 1/2 cup tomato sauce
2 tbsp butter
Directions
My favorite meatloaf recipe.
Combine the beef, bread crumbs, onion, 8 oz tomato sauce, egg, My
Seasoning, and green pepper. Mix well and place in a loaf pan.
Combine all sauce ingredients. Cook in a saucepan until butter
melts. Pour sauce over meat loaf and bake at 350F^. for 1 hour. While
baking, the sauce needs to be spooned over the meat occasionally.
Note: Make sure you use a pan large enough for the meat and sauce, or
the sauce will tend to boil over while it is cooking.
My Seasoning: Mix 1 part garlic powder, 1 part onion powder, 1/2 part
black pepper. Mix well before measuring and adding to the recipe.

The History of Recipes
Historians have proved the existence of recipes far back into the far past, in fact as far into history as the ancient Egyptians, and maybe further still. Interesting though that is, mostly, these ancient recipes were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to food historians is a collection of clay tablets in Sumerian which recount the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made anyone who drank it feel blissful and exhilarated. Moving on, there were a couple of interesting cookery books dating from the fourteenth century : a cookery book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, these two books are unconnected to the curry that we all know today, but instead accounts of the types of meals prepared by the cooks of the nobility of that period. Later, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many new foods, spices and herbs from Arab cuisine, including spices like parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new culinary ideas led to an eruption in manuscripts on cooking, most of which are kept safe in private cookery archives. During the following few centuries, the upper-class families of the West tried to serve the most exotic banquets, and because of this the best chefs and their collection of recipes were at a premium. However, it was during the 19th century that cooking and recipe books reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, spent years to collecting, testing, and writing down recipes of the day. The revolution that is television brings us celebrity chefs and the accompanying recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everybody to access thousands of recipes such as those found on this recipe site. |
