  1. When I was a kid, my mom used to make a main dish where she combined ground beef, wheaties, milk,
    egg(s), diced onions, and Worcestershire sauce, mixing it all together like a meatloaf. (I'm pretty
    sure she got the recipe right off a Wheaties box, and there may have been other ingredients.)
    Instead of making a "loaf", however, she would press it all down into a cast iron skillet and cook
    it under the broiler in the oven. We LOVED it. I would like to resurrect this nostalgic entree for
    my husband, but cannot locate a recipe!

    WILL SOMEONE - ANYONE - SHARE THIS PRICELESS OLD TREASURE??

    Thanks a million!!

    Hi,,,,Calypso, I think this is it: Do you ever run out of steak? You rummage around foolishly
    through your fridge to no avail. There is no steak to be found! Do you happen to have ground beef,
    milk and Wheaties? For some inexplicable reason do you not want to eat hamburgers or have a bowl
    of Wheaties?

    If you answered "Yes" to one or more of these questions, then I have the recipe for you: Emergency
    Steak. Serves 2
    a.. 1 lb. ground beef
    b.. 1 T minced onion
    c.. 1/2 C milk
    d.. 1 t salt
    e.. 1/4 t black pepper
    f.. 1 C Wheaties

    An actual T-Bone steak for reference purposes.

    Method of Preparation:

    In a mixing bowl combine all the ingredients in listed order. Display no unusual emotion until
    Wheaties are added. Cringe as you feel the crunching of the Wheaties under your fingers as you try
    to maneuver through the milky, meaty mess that has accumulated.

    Form the meat into the shape of a T-bone steak. As I'm sure you are aware, the T-bone steak comes
    from the loin of the animal. It is a steak cut from two muscles, the Sirloin or Strip and the
    Tenderloin. The bone is actually called the Finger or Short Loin Bone. What we will be crafting will
    be boneless. If you have trouble getting the shape just right, keep at it and it will come. This is
    an emergency situation and the shape must be approximated as closely as possible.

    When you are done molding the correct shape, place the steaks on a lightly greased pan and into an
    oven at 350 degrees about 3-4 inches from the top broiler. Cook for 10-12 minutes or until desired
    doneness is achieved.

    Serving Suggestion:

    Here the Live Action ChefT serves Emergency Steak with new potato rosti and steamed brussel sprouts

    Didn't you just give the recipe up above? What more do you need?

    ingredients besides the ones I remember . . .

    If you know what you are after, and you know the main ingredients, AND YOU CAN COOK, you should need
    nothing more. From your posts I see two out of three are present...

    minutes on each side. Makes 4 to 5 servings.

    Substitute ground liver for the beef and you'd have one of those ghastly WWII rationing recipes....
