10 pounds chopped beef 3 tablespoons salt 1/2 lb. minced salt pork 1 1/2 teaspoons pepper 3 cups dried crumbs

1 1/4 quarts water 1/2 cup minced onion 5 eggs, well beaten

1 cup barley flour

2 quarts strained tomato

Put dried crumbs through coarse meat chopper, add water, and cook until pasty. Add meat, seasonings, beaten eggs, and more water and salt if needed. Shape in loaves, place in meat pans, and cook in hot oven till slightly brown. Then reduce heat and cook slowly, or remove to Aladdin oven; about an hour altogether will be required. Baste occasionally. Remove to platters.

Turn one cup drippings from pan into saucepan, add flour, and strained tomato, stirring until thickened and well cooked. Season to taste. Add one quart or more cooked macaroni, spaghetti, or barley noodles, cut in half-inch pieces. Serve around loaf, or pass with meat.
