2 pounds ground beef
1 egg
2 tsp sale
1/4 tsp pepper

1/4 c vinegar

Combined main ingredients in a bowl and add 1/4 to 1/3 of the sauce mixture.  On a baking pan mold into a flat oval.  Make a shallow well to hold the sauce.  It should look like an oval pie.  Pour remaining sauce into the well.  Bake in 350 degree oven for 30 min.
