Very Old Meatloaf Recipe

"At present time (2012), this is a 207-year-old meatloaf recipe, that has been handed down through our family since my great-great-grandmother back in 1807. It may be older than this, but that's as far back as I can trace it. Originally it was made using deer meat, but I prefer using beef as did my Mother. Enjoy."

Ingredients

2 pounds ground beef
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon milk
1 cup bread crumbs
1 onion, diced
1 carrot, diced
1 small Granny Smith apple, diced

1 egg

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Mix bread crumbs, onion, carrot, apple, and egg into the beef mixture until evenly integrated.
Form the beef mixture into a loaf.
Transfer the meatloaf to a deep baking dish; tent with a sheet of aluminum foil.
