This is my most-requested recipe when people come to visit- and I live at the beach where fresh seafood is readily available… that should tell you everything you need to know about the famous mer-eatloaf.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup finely chopped onions
• 1/4 cup Italian dressing
• 1 1/2 lb. ground beef
• 3/4 cup ketchup, divided
• 1 pkg. Stove Top stuffing mix for chicken
• 1 cup water
• 2 egg whites

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375.  Cook onions in dressing in large skillet on medium heat 10 minutes, or until golden brown, stirring frequently.  Remove from heat; cool slightly.

Combine meat, 1/4 cup ketchup, the stuffing mix, water, egg whites and onions.  Mix well.  Place in a baking dish and shape into an oval loaf.  Spread with remaining 1/2 cup ketchup.

Bake 1 hour, or until cooked through.

This dish is so delicious!  You will be making this for many meals to come…
