Stuffed Meatloaf


Here is a recipe that I always enjoyed making for my father. I don't remember where I found it or if I made it up, but he loved it.

1.5 pounds of ground meat (I always use 90/10 for meatloaf)
1 cup Italian bread crumbs
1 medium onion, diced finely
1 green bell pepper, diced finely
1 stalk of celery, diced finely
1/4 cup ketchup
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 T. Worcestershire sauce
2 eggs, slightly beaten
1 tsp. pepper
1 tsp. garlic powder
2 T. parsley flakes

Mix all ingredients in a large bowl. Divide into two equal parts. Place one section of seasoned meat in the bottom of meatloaf pan.

Spread 2 T. Dijon mustard on top of meat in pan.
On top of that, place two slices of Swiss cheese
On top of cheese, place four-six slices of thin-sliced deli ham
On top of ham, place one can of mushroom slices
On top of mushrooms, spread 1/2 cup of shredded mozzeralla cheese or 3 slices of Muenster cheese (Daddy loved Muenster)

Cover with other part of meatloaf. Make sure the sides meet and are sealed or the filling will ooze out.

Cover with foil and bake in preheated 375 preheated oven for 60-70 minutes. Remove foil and top with sauce.

Sauce: Mix together
8 oz tomato sauce
1tsp. pepper
1 tsp. garlic powder
1 T brown sugar

Bake 15 minutes uncovered. Remove from oven and let rest 15-20 minutes before cutting.

My father loved this with roasted potatoes.
