This is for Trina who does not like meat loaf but said this was grubbin Ingredients:
1 1/2 lbs ground beef |
1/2 cup dry breadcrumbs |
1 egg, beaten slightly |
4 tablespoons instant minced onion |
3/4 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon oregano (optional) |
3/4 cup ketchup |
1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded |
1 (4 ounce) can mushrooms, sliced |
4 -6 slices bacon, cooked and diced |
1 -2 tablespoon parsley, chopped |
Directions:
1. You can use a combination of ground meats.
2. I like a combination of beef, pork and veal.
3. Combine ground meats, bread crumbs, egg, onions, salt and oregano with 1/2 cup ketchup in a bowl.
4. Mixing well.
5. Pat meat mixture flat onto a 9 X 13 piece of waxed paper.
6. Sprinkle the meat with cheese, mushrooms, bacon, and parsley.
7. Roll, as for a jelly roll, using the waxed paper to help you start to roll.
8. Sealing edge and ends.
9. Rolling the meat is a little tricky, but if there is a break in the meat just smooth over with your fingers.
10. it will still taste great.
11. With a little practice you will be a pro.
12. Use the waxed paper to transfer the meat loaf to a 9 X 13 pan.
13. Place seam side down.
14. Bake at 375 degrees for 30 minutes.
15. Pour off drippings.
16. Spoon remaining ketchup over loaf.
17. At this time I like to garnish the meat loaf with sliced black olives, or onion slices and a sprinkling of parsley.
18. Or you can place bell pepper slices on the meat.
19. Bake for 30 minutes longer.
20. Let cool for a few minutes before slicing.
21. *Ifyou want a really Italian tasting meat loaf use spaghetti sauce.
