Stuffed Meat Loaf: This could work for a special occasion or a casual week night meal.
Ingredients:
1 lb. ground beef
1 egg
2 pieces day old bread, soaked in milk
3 tbs. grated Romano cheese
1 cup Sunday Gravy (sauce)
dash of marjoram
1tbs.minced Italian parsley
1 small chopped onion
salt and pepper to taste
Stuffing:
2 strips of prosciutto or thin sliced ham
5 strips of fontina or provolone cheese
1 hard boiled egg – sliced
In a large bowl, combine beef, egg, bread, cheese, marjoram, parsley, onion, salt and pepper. Mix together thoroughly and divide in half. In a shallow baking pan, cover bottom with olive oil, and mold half of the meat mixture into an oval shape. Flatten and place the prosciutto, provolone (I like Fontina cheese, if you can find it, because it melts really well) and egg on the meat. Place the remaining meat on top and mold, pressing the edges down to seal. Bake in a pre-heated oven at 375 degrees for 30 minutes. Remove from the oven, top with the Sunday Gravy and return to the oven for an additional 10 minutes.
