This is a recipe I have to share- "Swiss Meat Loaf"

I got this recipe from my friend Beverly a while back.  I was talking to her about food (of course) and I wanted to make something Philly really liked.  She had a meat loaf recipe for me.  I was skeptical, I never liked my mom's meat loaf (sorry mom).  This one is very tasty, I was pleasantly surprised.  Since then, I have made it for Philly's (Chris') parents with rave reviews.  If you know Ron, you know that is huge!  Claire has since made it for the Staten Island Lambs with more rave reviews.  So, Beverly, we all thank you and your meat loaf will now be world famous.

I make it exactly how Beverly told me and I will pass on her hints.  FYI this recipe is HUGE.  So, halve it or make two loafs.  It is super easy, but takes a while to bake.

Swiss Meat Loaf

2 lbs ground beef

1 1/2 c. diced swiss cheese (more if you like cheese.  I use 1 c. when halving)

2 beaten eggs

1/2 c. chopped onion (Beverly and I both have picky onion eaters.  So, we use the dried onion in the bottle.  the equivalent measurement is on bottle)

1/2 c. green pepper (we don't put this in, but hmmm it might be good )

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp pepper

1/2 tsp celery salt

1/2 tsp paprika

2 1/2 c. milk

1 c. dry bread crumbs

Mix together.  Press into a greased loaf pan.  Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 1 1/2 hours.
