i have heard that you can place a cracker(saltine, ritz) or a piece of bread in your mouth and hold it on your tongue while you chop up your onion. i, however, do just what southern grace does, and buy vidalia, or the like, and rarely have a problem.
my meat loaf recipe:
2 lbs. ground chuck
1 vidalia onion , finely chopped
1 green bell pepper, finely chopped
ketchup, about 1 cup
heinz 57 sauce, about 1/2 cup
worchestershire sauce, about 1/2 cup
garlic powder, to taste
1 cup progresso italian bread crumbs
add all ingredients into a large bowl. mix well(i use my hands). shape into a loaf and place on rack of broiler pan . spread more ketchup on top of meatloaf. cook at 350 degrees for 1 hour to 1 1/2 hours. let cool for approximately 10 minutes before slicing.
