Good food and memories are made in the kitchen. A recipe like this one thatâs been passed down through generations is worth its weight in gold. In fact, this was my grandmaâs; we all love it. âNicholas King, Duluth, Minnesota Ingredients:
1 egg, lightly beaten |
1-1/2 cups seasoned bread crumbs |
1 can (4-1/4 ounces) chopped ripe olives, drained |
1 can (4 ounces) mushroom stems and pieces, drained |
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese |
1 small green pepper, chopped |
1 small onion, chopped |
2 tablespoons onion soup mix |
1 cup pizza sauce, divided |
2 pounds ground turkey or beef |
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the egg, bread crumbs, olives, mushrooms, mozzarella cheese, pepper, onion, soup mix and 1/2 cup pizza sauce. Crumble beef over mixture and mix well. Shape into a 10-in. x 6-in. rectangle and place in a greased 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan; Spoon remaining pizza sauce over top.
2. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 45 minutes. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Bake 10-15 minutes longer or until no pink remains and a thermometer reads 160°. Let stand 10 minutes before slicing.
3. Reserve 2 slices meat loaf for Next Day Meat Loaf Pie (recipe also in Recipe Finder). Serve the remaining meat loaf. Yield: 6 servings plus leftovers.
