Beef Loaf

Ingredients

• 2 cups chopped cold beef
• 2 tablespoons chopped ham
• I cup stale bread crumbs
• Pepper
• Salt
• I teaspoon minced parsley
• I tablespoon onion juice
• I egg
• J cup milk

Method

1. 1

   Take the finely chopped cold roast beef, chopped ham and stale bread crumbs, season highly with salt and pepper, chopped parsley and onion juice.

2. 2

   Mix a beaten egg with half a cup of milk and moisten the dry ingredients.

3. 3

   It may require more milk; the quantity depends somewhat on the dryness of the bread.

4. 4

   Make the mixture so it will stick together well.

5. 5

   Take a square of stout white paper and butter it thoroughly.

6. 6

   Put the beef into it, shaping it in a square as if the paper held a small cream loaf.

7. 7

   Fold the paper neatly over at each end so that the weight of the meat will keep it in place without tying.

8. 8

   Put the parcel in a baking pan and set it in a hot oven for half an hour.

9. 9

   Carefully remove the paper when baked and set the brown crusty loaf on a hot platter.

10. 10

    Pour a tomato sauce over it, or serve with horse-radish cream sauce.
