                        -----SEASONING MIX-----
   2                    Bay leaves
   1       t            Salt
     1/2   ts           Cayenne pepper
   1       t            Black pepper
     1/2   ts           White pepper
     1/2   ts           Ground cumin
     1/2   ts           Ground nutmeg
                        -----VEGETABLE MIXTURE-----
   2       tb           Unsalted butter
     3/4   c            Finely chopped onions
     1/2   c            Finely chopped celery
     1/2   c            Finely chopped bell pepper
     1/4   c            Finely chopped green onions
   2       ts           Minced garlic
     1/2   ts           Tabasco sauce
   1       tb           Worcestershire sauce
     1/2   c            Evaporated milk
     1/2   c            Catsup
                        -----MEAT MIX-----
   1 1/2   lb           Ground beef
     1/2   lb           Ground pork
   2                    Eggs, lightly beaten
   1       c            Very fine dry bread crumbs

  Combine the seasoning mix ingredients in a small bowl
  and set aside.
  
  Melt the butter in a 1 quart saucepan over medium
  heat.  Add the onions, celery, bell peppers, green
  onions, garlic, Tabasco, Worcestershire and seasoning
  mix.  Saute until mixture starts sticking excessively,
  about 6 minutes, stirring occasionally and scraping
  the pan bottom well. Stir in the milk and catsup.
  Continue cooking for about 2 minutes, stirring
  occasionally. Remove from heat and allow mixture to
  cool to room temperature.
  
  Place the ground beef and pork in an ungreased 13 by 9
  backing pan. Add the eggs, the cooked vegetable
  mixture (removing the bay leaves) and the bread
  crumbs.  Mix by hand until thoroughly combined. In the
  center of the pan, shape the mixture into a loaf that
  is about 1 1/2 inches high, 6 inches wide and 12
  inches long. Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 25
  minutes, then raise heat to 400 degrees and continue
  cooking until done, about 35 minutes longer.  Serve
  immediately as is or with "Very Hot Cajun Sauce for
  Beef" (separate recipe).

  Kitchen". (hot spice level reduced by us, but
  otherwise unchanged.)
