Wow, could not find Morton's Tender Quick Salt anywhere around here (I'll order on line, next time) I made it without, (I did increase the spices a bit), but all I ended up with was 3 logs of spicy drab brown meatloaf. If you don't have the curing salt, just wait until you do!

This is a great recipe. I lost mine and used this to make a batch. When they come out of the oven they are best when left for 3 or 4 days. Thanks for sharing.

I have a recipe with all these same ingredients, altho mine calls for 2 T of liquid smoke and only 2 lbs of hamburger. I ran out of the tender quick salt this last time and used pickling salt and it was wonderful!
