Italian Style Meatloaf

Ingredient

1 Lb Ground Serloin

•1 Ea Whole Egg

•Salt & Pepper to Taste

•Italian Seasoned Bread Crumbs

•8 Oz Ricotta Cheese

•Grated Romano Cheese

Directions

—1. Mix ground serloin, egg, salt, pepper, bread crumbs, & romano cheese together. The bread crumbs and egg are used as a binding ingredient. Just add enough bread crumbs to the meat and egg, so it will stick together easily. If you measure about a handful of bread crumbs, & 2 Tablespoons of cheese should do it.

—2. Form meat in a rectangle on a sheet of wax paper.

—3. Place ricotta cheese in center of meat. Keep it about an 1" away from the sides. Once you have it ready, roll it similar to a jelly roll. (Use the wax paper to help roll the meat loaf . It will be much easier that way.

— 4. Place meat seam down in a baking dish.

—5. Bake at 350 - 375 for approx 40 45 min. ( Be sure you watch the meat loaf carefully, it may be done in less time.)

—6. Serve with Spaghetti Sauce on top.

— NOTE: You can also add diced onions mixed into your ground serloin. Ground serloin has less fat, so you won’t loose as much in cooking.
