Soy meat loaf

¾ pound chopped meat

1½ cups vegetable liquid, tomato juice, or milk

2 ounces salt pork, diced (about ⅓ cup)

2 tablespoons chopped onion

½ cup chopped celery

¾ cup soy grits

2 tablespoons chopped parsley

2 teaspoons salt

¾ cup breadcrumbs

⅛ teaspoon pepper

Select one kind of meat or a mixture of two or more kinds.

Blend vegetable liquid, tomato juice, or milk with the meat.

Fry salt pork until crisp and remove from fat. Cook onion and celery in the fat for a few minutes.

Add all the ingredients to the meat and mix well.

Shape the mixture into a loaf and place on heavy brown paper on a rack in an uncovered pan.

Bake loaf at 350° F. (moderate oven) until well done and brown—about 1 hour.

Serve with baked potatoes or squash, peas, and green salad, with apple crisp or peach cobbler for dessert.

To vary the flavor, serve the loaf with brown gravy or tomato sauce.
