Seasoned meatloaf stuffed with ham and cheese. This is based on a recipe from Better Homes and Gardens All-Time Favorite Recipes. Our version uses Canadian bacon instead of the ham, and changes a few other things around to suit our taste. Ingredients:
1 egg, lightly beaten |
3/4 cup saltine crumbs |
2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped |
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano, crushed |
1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary (optional) |
1/4 teaspoon salt (to taste) |
1/4 teaspoon pepper (to taste) |
2 lbs ground beef |
6 ounces thinly sliced canadian bacon |
8 ounces sliced mozzarella cheese |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Combine egg, crumbs, herbs, salt and pepper in a large bowl.
3. Add beef and mix well.
4. Place mixture on a large piece of foil or waxed paper and pat into a 10 x8 rectangle.
5. Arrange Canadian bacon slices over beef mixture, leaving a small margin at edges.
6. Set aside 2 slices of cheese.
7. Tear remaining cheese into smaller pieces and sprinkle over Canadian bacon.
8. Starting from short end, roll up meat, using the foil to lift it.
9. Press edges and ends to seal.
10. Place in a 13 x9 baking pan, seam side down.
11. Bake until cooked through, about 1 1/4 hours.
12. Cut remaining cheese slices in half.
13. Place cheese on top of meat.
14. Return to oven until cheese melts.
