No idea what magazine this came from, and no idea who Muriel might be... but this recipe reached recipe box card status. Let's give it a go:Muriel's Dinner-In-A-Dish
6 TB butter
1 med onion, sliced
2 green peppers, sliced thin
1 lb ground beef
1 1/2 ts salt
1/4 ts black pepper

2 cups corn
4 med tomatoes, sliced
1/2 cup bread crumbs
-Melt 4TB butter in a skillet, saute the onion and green peppers for 5 min.
-Add beef, s&p, and cook on high heat for 3 minutes.
-Remove from heat for 5 min, then mix in eggs.
-In casserole dish, spread 1 cup corn, layer with half the meat mixture, then half the tomatoes.
-Repeat layers of corn, meat, tomatoes.
-Cover with bread crumbs and dot with 2 TB butter.
-Bake at 375 for 1 hour.
Just recently I came across the same recipe handwritten in an old cookbook vintage 1960's. I seem to remember that Muriel is Muriel Humphrey, wife of Hubert Humphrey, wife of the former Vice-President and that this recipe was published in Parade magazine. Your recipe matches mine exactly--I plan to test it later this week and let you know the results!
