INSTRUCTIONS
Into a large bowl place all the ingredients except the cheese and parsley
sprigs in the order given. Knead the mixture well to mix thoroughly,.
Divide the mixture in half and form each half into a compact loaf
approximately 1 1/2 inches in depth. Place the cheese on the top of one of
the loaves and top with the other loaf. Pinch the loaves together well, to
seal. Place in a shallow roasting pan and bake in a preheated 400 degree
oven 1 hour. Remove from the oven. Slice the loaf and arrange slices on a
a warm platter. Garnish with parsley sprigs.
Judi's Notes: I think a 400 degree oven is too high for meat loaf and so
always bake my meat loaves at 350-375 degrees and just cook it a few
minutes longer. I also like to remove some of the fat and juices that
accumulate in the pan about half way through cooking by using a turkey
baster to suction in out of the pan.
