ITALIAN MEATLOAF
Celebrate: Italian Style by Jacqueline Miconi
This meatloaf tastes like a delicious giant meatball, with just a few extra ingredients. A wonderful blend of flavors that are truly mouthwatering.
Ingredients
• 1 pound lean ground beef
• 1/2 cup ketchup
• 2 egg whites
• 2 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1/2 small onion
• 5 sundried tomatoes (chopped fine)
• 1/2 cup shredded Provolone cheese
• 1 cup Italian style bread crumbs
• 1 tablespoon basil
• 1 16 ounce can stewed tomatoes
• 1 teaspoon basil
• Salt & Pepper to taste
• Cooking spray
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a large bowl, first blend ketchup and egg whites. Then add garlic, onion and sundried tomatoes and stir. Next add Provolone, bread crumbs and basil, continuing to blend. Lastly, add ground beef. Mix thoroughly with your hands, being sure not to "over work" the mixture.
Spray loaf pan with cooking spray. Place the meat mixture into loaf pan. If you don't have a loaf pan, shape meat into a loaf and place on a sprayed cookie sheet.
Bake for 1 hour. Let stand for 10 minutes. Meanwhile heat stewed tomatoes, basil and salt and pepper in a small sauce pan. Cut meatloaf into 1 inch pieces and serve with stewed tomatoes.
