October 26, 2008 Here's another recipe for my Taste Book. My mom has been making this meatloaf ever since I can remember eating with a fork. It is so delicious I'll bet even people that don't much care for meatloaf will enjoy it. Three ingredients make this meatloaf "Italian Style": oregano, basil and mozzarella cheese (which is killer). My mother didn't always add spinach (it's listed as optional for that reason) but it's a fantastic addition and a good way to incorporate a healthy vegetable without anyone (even kids) noticing. Cook until it's browned on top and bubbling. You will notice a lot of "juice" around the edges of the loaf pan and that's fine- it keeps it moist. Easy to put together, you could make this on a weeknight and not feel terribly hassled. Mom's Italian Style Meatloaf 2 pounds ground beef Combine all ingredients except the cheese and mix well. Add the cubed cheese and mix well. Place in loaf pan (8¼“ x 4½” x 2¾"). Push any cubes of cheese that are showing down into the loaf and smooth off the top. Bake at 350 for about an hour or until done. Remove from oven; overlap the slices of cheese down the center of the loaf. Return to the oven for 2 minutes or so to soften the cheese.
