Cajun Meat Loaf 
	
	-----SEASONING MIX-----
	
	2 Whole bay leaves
	1 teaspoon Salt
	1 teaspoon Ground cayenne pepper
	1 teaspoon Black pepper
	1/2 teaspoon White pepper
	1/2 teaspoon Ground cumin
	1/2 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
	
	-----MAIN INGREDIENTS-----
	
	4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
	3/4 cup Finely chopped onions
	1/2 cup Green bell peppers -- chopped
	1/2 cup Celery - chopped
	1/4 cup Green onions -- finely chopped
	2 teaspoons Minced garlic
	1 tablespoon Tabasco sauce
	1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
	1/2 cup Evaporated milk
	1/2 cup Catsup
	1 1/2 pounds Ground beef
	1/2 pound Ground pork
	2 Eggs -- lightly beaten
	1 cup Very fine 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 13x9-inch baking
	pan. Add the eggs, the cooked vegetable mixture and the bread
	crumbs, remove the bay leaves. 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 350F for 25 minutes, then raise heat to 400F and
	continue cooking until done, about 35 minutes longer.
	
	Serve immediately as is or with Very Hot Cajun Sauce for Beef.
	
	This is best using both ground pork and ground beef, as the pork
	gives more flavor diversity. However, you can make it with ground
	beef only.
