Jubilee Meatloaf- Recipes from Checkerboard Square


This recipe is from a little booklet by Ralston Purina called Recipes from Checkerboard Square. It is undated but must be from the late 50's or very early 60's because it has the Party Mix recipe that came out in 1955 but is before zip codes came into use. It has recipes using Chex cereals, Ry-Krisp crackers and Instant or Regular Ralston cereal. I guess that is a cream of wheat sort of thing. I don't think I have ever heard of it before. There is a recipe for crumb crust pie shell using crushed Rice Chex instead of graham crackers which might be nice and crunchy.


This meatloaf uses Wheat Chex instead of oatmeal or bread crumbs. Is is baked at a very low temperature of 300 degrees. I wonder if that is to try and prevent shrinkage.

3/4 cup condensed cream of tomato soup
