Mile-High Meat Loaf
Recipe courtesy The Americana Diner, East Windsor, NJ

Ingredients
2 loaves day-old white bread, crusts removed
10 pounds ground beef
2 medium onions, finely chopped
8 whole eggs
2 tablespoons minced fresh thyme leaves
1 cup whole milk
Salt and pepper
About 3 cups ketchup, or more if desired

Instructions
Preheat oven 350 degrees F.

Line 3 (9-by 5-inch) loaf pans with wax paper and set aside.

Make bread crumbs by placing the bread in the work bowl of a food processor and processing until

finely ground. Transfer crumbs to a large bowl. Add all ingredients, except ketchup, to the bowl;
mix until just combined. Divide and shape the meat mixture into loaves in the prepared pans. Spread
a layer of ketchup over the top to cover the meat loaf. Bake for 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until
completely cooked through. Remove from heat and let meatloaf cool for 15 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm.
