Dian's Meatloaf in an Onion
Serves 4

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
4 large onions, peeled and halved
18-inch heavy-duty aluminum foil


In a 1-gallon plastic self-sealing bag, combine ground beef, egg, cracker crumbs, tomato sauce, salt, pepper and dry mustard. Mix by squeezing and set aside.

Cut off root end of onions to ease removal of center. Cut onions in half and remove center, leaving a 3/4 -inch-thick shell. Divide meat mixture into four portions and roll into balls. Place in center of four onion halves. Put onions back together. Wrap each onion in foil and fold down foil at top and on sides to make a packet. Cook over hot coals for 15 to 20 minutes per side.
