Earl's Mozzarella Meat Loaf Recipe

Recipe Ingredients:

1 large Onion, coarsely chopped
1 tbsp Olive oil
1 Sweet red pepper, chopped
1 cl Garlic, finely chopped
1 tsp Leaf basil, crumbled
1/2 tsp Lef thyme, crumbled
1 1/2 lb Lean ground beef
1/2 lb Ground pork
1 cup Old-fashioned oats, uncooked
2 Egg whites
4 oz Part-skim mozarella cheese cut in 1/4-inch cubes
1/2 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
2 tbsp Parsley, chopped
3/4 tsp Salt, optional
1/8 tsp Pepper
1/4 cup Catsup

Recipe Instructions:

Preheat oven to moderate (375 degrees). Line jelly-roll pan with
aluminum foil.

Saute onion in oil in large skillet over medium heat 3 minutes. Add
red pepper, garlic, basil, and thyme, saute 5 minutes.

Combine beef, pork, oats, egg, whites, mozzarella, Parmesan, parsley,
optional salt, and pepper in large bowl. Add vegetable mixture.
Shape into large oval on prepared pan.

Bake in moderate oven (375 degrees) for 30 minutes. Brush loaf with
catsup. Bake 25 minutes or until cooked through. Let stand 10 minute
before slicing.

Judi's Notes: I would bake this meat loaf in a loaf pan due to
possible grease escaping from the jelly roll pan. I would also spoon
off some of the fat from the loaf after 30 minutes.
