ITALIAN MEAT LOAF, so go f yourself you skinny bitches.


Recipe courtesy Michael Chiarello
ITALIAN MEAT LOAF
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 red pepper, seeded, small diced
1 onion, diced
2 teaspoons (about 3 cloves) chopped garlic
1 pound ground beef
2 eggs
3/4 cup bread crumbs
1 cup grated Parmesan
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons chopped basil leaves
1 tablespoon chopped parsley leaves
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup marinara sauce
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a medium saute pan over medium heat and add the peppers, onions and garlic. Saute until just soft, remove to a plate and cool.
When the peppers and onions are cool, combine all of the remaining ingredients together except for the marinara. Pack the meat mixture into an oiled loaf pan, if you do not have a loaf pan, form the meat mixture into a loaf shape on an oiled oven tray or baking dish. Top with the marinara making sure to spread evenly over the top.
Bake for approximately 50 to 60 minutes or until an instant-read thermometer registers 160 degrees F in the middle of the meatloaf. Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Slice and serve.


(Trooper York note: I always add strips of bacon to the top of it)

Is this recipe from the new 'Meat the Mets' cookbook? I think having extra-virgin anything must be a typo in the Mets clubhouse. According to the NY Post, Roberto Alomar never let his meat loaf, and Art whats-his-name shaped his loaf into a dog nipple.

Only in New York, kids, only in New York.

I would also add in four cloves of garlic finely chopped, but hey that's me and I add garlic to everything.

The wife got pissed when I put it in the chocolate pudding last night.

Chocolate pudding without garlic in it is like drinking cow urine only without nutrients.

I want to say that sometimes I make this with a pound of ground beef and a pound of ground pork mixed together. Like a giant meatball only better.

Perfect. I have a pound of defrosted ground beef that I need to use tomorrow. This recipe looks good.

Be carefull with the salt content though Freeman. You might want to leave off the bacon.
