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 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon pepper

1/2 teaspoon 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 serving portions and roll into balls. Place in the center of the 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 degrees F oven for 45 to 50 minutes or until ground beef and onions are cooked.
Serves 4.
