My daughter is starting to be a picky eater; however, one of her favourites
is what I call Meatloaf surprise.


Meatloaf surprise

1 lb ground beef
1 large finely chopped onion (or half pkg of onion soup mix) (can be less or
more depending on taste)
1 egg (beaten)
1/2 cup ketchup (or 1/4 can tomato soup undiluted) (I have make it without
this when I was out of it and it still is good)
1 tomato diced
1/4-1/2 tsp Pepper (again can be less or more depending on taste)
1 pkg Stove Top stuffing (make according to "bird stuffing" directions)

First mix first 7 ingredients in a large bowl. Place half of the ground beef
mixture into a lightly greased (I use Pam) loaf pan and level the mixture.
Next take the Stove Top Stuffing (that you have mixed according to the box
direction) and place it over the first layer of ground beef
mixture.levelling it as well. Next place the remaining beef mixture on top
and smooth it out. Bake 350 F until done about 1 hour.

I serve this with yellow beans and potatoes fresh from the garden in the
summer and homemade canned ones in the winter or I will even serve with
rice. Also, I sometimes will but a little shredded cheese on top for the
last 5-10 minutes that it is in the oven.

Sometimes, I will place this in muffin tins. My daughter loves to take them
in her lunches. Plus they freeze well if you need them all at one time. For
example families with only one or two people in it.
