I also have a recipe for gr. pepper meat loaf which uses pork sausage and gr. beef, meat loaf burritos, meat loaf shepherd's pie and one for Sicilian meatroll which looks really good. If you Email me, I'll send whichever one you want.
Ingredients
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 can (8 oz.) tomato sauce, divided
- 1/2 cup dry bread crumbs
- 1/2 cup finely chopped onion, optional
- 1/2 cup finely chopped green pepper, optional
- 1 tsp dried oregano, divided
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/8 tsp pepper
- 1-1/2 lb gr. beef
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella
- 2 TBS. grated Parmesan cheese
Directions
In a bowl, combine the egg, half of the tomato sauce, bread crumbs, onion and gr. pepper, if desired, 1/2 tsp oregano, salt and pepper. Add beef; mix well. On a large piece of heavy duty foil, pat meat mixture into a 14-in. x 8 in. rectangle. Sprinkle cheese to within 1/2 in. of edges. Roll up, jelly roll style, starting with short side, and peeling foil away while rolling. Seal seam and ends. Transfer to a microwave-safe 9-in. x 5-in. x 3-in. loaf pan. Microwave, uncovered, at 50% power for 12 minutes, rotating a half turn once; drain. Continue cooking on 50% power for 20 minutes or until meat is no longer pink, rotating a half turn once. In a bowl, combine the remaining tomato sauce and oregano. Pour over meatloaf. Microwave, uncovered, on high for 2 minutes. Cover loosely with foil. Let stand 5 minutes before serving. Makes 6 servings.
