 Meat Loaf Ring
1 pound lean ground beef
- 1 beaten egg
- 6 crushed soda crackers, or 1/4 cup dry bread crumbs
- 1 small onion, minced
- 1 tablespoon minced parsley
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup chopped green pepper
- 1/4 cup chopped celery
- 1/2 cup tomato juice
- 1/4 cup ketchup
Thoroughly combine all ingredients except ketchup. Pack lightly into 9-inch glass dish, making a well in center. Place empty glass, right side down, in center of dish. Microwave on high 6 minutes, rotating a quarter turn halfway through cooking. Drizzle ketchup over top. Microwave on high 6 minutes longer, rotating a quarter turn halfway through cooking. Rest 5 minutes. Remove glass; baste off drippings. Serves 5 or 6.
Barbara's tips: Ingredients can easily be mixed by measuring them into a plastic bag and squeezing until well-mixed. After microwaving, paper towel may be used to blot drippings in the center.
