MEATLOAF - Helen Sullivan McIntyre
Helen made meatloaf often. It was a meal the family liked. This recipe, she called "Prize Winning" meat loaf. Not sure how it got the name.

- 1/4 cup chopped onion (or 1 tblsp dry minced onion)
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 1 cup tomato juice or small 8 oz Hunt's tomato sauce
