Meat Loaf in an Onion

Meat Loaf in an Onion

4 large onions, peeled
1 pound lean ground beef
1 egg
1/4 cup cracker crumbs
1/4 cup tomato sauce
1/2 t. salt
1/8 t. pepper
1/2 t. dry mustard

Cut off root at the bottom end of the onion so that removal of the
center is easy. Cut onions in half horizontally and remove center part
of onion, leaving a 3/4 inch thick shell. The removed center of the
onion can be diced and combined with ingredients or used later. In a 1
gallon plastic zipper bag, combine ground beef, egg, cracker crumbs,
tomato sauce, salt, pepper and dry mustard. Mix by squeezing. Divide
meat mixture into 4 portions and roll into balls. Place in the center of
the 4 onion halves. Put onions back together. Wrap each onion in foil.
Cook over a bed of hot coals for 15 to 20 minutes per side or in a 350
oven for 45 to 50 minutes or until ground beef and onions are cooked.
Serves 4 as lunch or dinner.
