Steps:
- 1. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.

- 3. Add onion, salt and pepper. Stir with a fork until bread softens and is light and fluffy.
- 4. Mix in ground beef; stir in beaten egg. Shape into a loaf. Place in lightly greased baking dish.
- 5. Spread loaf with ketchup; top with bacon strips. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes to 1 hour.
- 6. *The original recipe did not call for the egg; I think eggs were in short supply during the depression. Maybe the canned milk helps it hold together? Anyway, I added the egg to the recipe just in case I had inadvertantly not copied the recipe correctly!
