2/3 small onion, chopped
1 1/3 clove garlic, minced
2/3 pound ground beef
2/3 pound ground pork
1 1/3 eggs, slightly beaten
1 1/3 tablespoon ketchup
2/3 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2/3 teaspoon salt
1/3 teaspoon marjoram
1/3 teaspoon thyme
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
2 slices side bacon
Sour Cream Gravy
1/8 cup pan drippings
1 1/3 tablespoon all-purpose flour
2/3 cup beef stock or water
2/3 cup sour cream
chopped parsley
directions
Tear bread into small pieces and soak in a large mixing bowl with milk while you prepare rest of the loaf.
In a small skillet, melt butter, then saute mushrooms, onions and garlic until soft, about 3 minutes. Let cool.
With your hands, mix the saute mixture and meat into bread mixture. Add eggs, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, salt, marjoram, thyme and pepper. Mix by hand in a circular motion.
Form into a free-form 9" x 5" loaf. Drape with bacon and place on greased rack on broiler pan. Bake at 375 degrees F for 1-1/4 hour or until brown and meat is cooked. Internal temperature should be 160 degrees F. Lift off rack and keep warm while making gravy.
For Sour Cream Gravy: Pour 1/4 cup of pan drippings into a small saucepan. Stir flour into drippings until smooth. Cook, stirring over medium heat for 3 minutes. Gradually stir in stock or water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and cook until thickened.
Stir in sour cream and heat through but do not boil. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Transfer to a heated sauce boat and sprinkle with parsley.

Keeping a can of frozen orange juice concentrate in the freezer means you can make more than just orange juice. Try it in a variety of orange-flavored recipes.
Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.

1 1/3 eggs? How do you measure that?
It looks like the person who submitted the recipe "scaled" it from its original serving size. Just use one extra large egg or 1 large egg and some additional liquid if needed.
