1.5 lbs ground beef ¾ cup chopped onions
4 tbsp un-salted butter ½ cup chopped bell pepper

Lagniappe

Combine all the seasoning ingredients in a small bowl.

Melt the butter in a sauce pan; add the onions, celery, peppers, green onions,
garlic, hot sauce, Worcestershire, and the seasoning mix. Sauté till mixture
gets sticky (about 6 minutes)

Stir in the milk and catsup, cook for another two minutes, remove from heat
and allow cooling.

Place the ground beef and pork in an ungreased baking pan, add the eggs and
cooled vegetables removing the bay leaves. Add the bread crumbs and mix
by hand until thoroughly combined. Shape into a loaf, and bake uncovered at
350 for 25 minutes, then raise temp to 400 for another 35 min or until done.
Serve with very hot Cajun sauce on top. (See sauces pg 328)
