MEAT LOAF WITH SOY

A Good Housekeeping article entitled “Good As Ever Old-Fashioned Dishes Made to Fit Our Times” redeveloped some favorite old recipes to meet wartime needs. Extended with soy flour, a loaf similar to this one provided lots of protein while saving meat points.

1 ½ pounds ground chuck

¾ cup soy flour

⅓ cup tomato juice

1 large egg, lightly beaten

¼ cup finely chopped onion

¼ cup finely chopped green bell pepper

¼ cup ketchup

2 tablespoons prepared horseradish

1 tablespoon prepared mustard

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

1 teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

Heat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9-inch loaf pan.

Combine chuck, soy flour, tomato juice, egg, onion, bell pepper, ketchup, horseradish, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl.

Spoon meat mixture into greased loaf pan and bake until center feels firm when gently pressed—about 1 hour. Cool in pan 5 minutes. Remove to platter; slice crosswise into 8 pieces and serve immediately.
