Glazed Beef Loaf recipe

This has been one of my family's favorite recipes for the last three decades. It's easy, very tasty and comforting. It's probably not really healthy (I wish I was a chemist and could quantify how healthy something was) but it's been so yummy that I make it anyway.

Glazed Beef Loaf

2 eggs, beaten
2/3 c milk
2 tsp salt
¼ tsp pepper
3 slices bread, cut in small cubes
2/3 c finely chopped onion
2/3 c shredded raw carrot
1 ½ c shredded Cheddar cheese
2 lbs ground beef
¼ c brown sugar

• Combine brown sugar, ketchup and mustard. Spread over beef loaf and continue baking 15 minutes. Makes 10 servings.
