Mix all ingredients thoroughly. Don't overhandle the meat, as that will toughen it. Spread in ungreased loaf pan, 9x5x3 inches. Spread with ketchup (or BBQ Sauce, if desired). Leave a section of it plain, as Dad doesn't care for the ketchup topping. Cook uncovered in 350 degree oven until done, about 1½ hours.
