pet milk I lie latter appioach: When it comes to cooking are you always looking for new ideas?... for new ways to fix the family meals? Well, here's a suggestion from the Pet Milk Company. . .for a new meat loaf that's mighty delicious. . .and easy too. You just mix one pound of ground beef, one envelope of dry onion soup mix and one small can of Pet. That's all there is to it. The creamy smoothness of that doublerich Pet keeps the meat moist and easy to shape into a loaf... and Pet blends the onion flavor into the meal so it comes out the juiciest, most flavorful meat loaf ever. Better make a note of the easy ingredients . . . one pound of ground beef, one envelope of dry onion soup mix and one small can of Pet. ...mix and shape into a loaf ...and bake 50 minutes in a moderate oven of 350 degrees. Meatloaf that's mmmighty good. .. because its made with Pet... the doublerich milk. 1 <) support ami supplement its ad\eiiisiiig efioits, Pet Milk also goes in heavily lor promotions to the Negro market.
