Stuffed Meatloaf!

I was looking around online and found a recipe called "Messy Meatloaf", it looked really good, but as always, I can't seem to leave a recipe alone without messing with it, so I tweaked it here and there and came up with not so much a loaf, but more of a flat loaf.

STUFFED TURKEY MEATLOAF
 
1 can mushrooms 
2 cloves garlic, minced 
fresh baby spinach 
Spaghetti sauce, divided 
shredded cheddar cheese, divided 
1 lb ground turkey 
1 lb ground beef 
1 egg, lightly beaten 
½ cup Italian style bread crumbs 
1 tsp dried Italian seasoning 
1/4 tsp salt 
 
 
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a large bowl, mix together turkey, beef, egg, bread crumbs, mushrooms, seasoning and salt. Spoon half of meat mixture onto a greased baking pan. Flatten and smooth out.  Top with a layer of spaghetti sauce, spinach leaves and shredded cheese.

 Top with remaining meat, flatten again and then go around the edges an seal, pulling in the loaf away from the sides of the pan. Spread some more spaghetti sauce on top and sprinkle with shredded cheese.

Bake for about an hour or until meat registers at 170 degrees.

Let sit for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing. ENJOY!

  5. That looks great Sandra. I used to do a rolled meatloaf for my kids that tasted like pizza. I haven't made it in a long time. Your meatloaf looks incredibly delicious!

  9. I always want to make your recipes but I was in such a "funk" for awhile I kind of stopped cooking dinner pretty much altogether...

    I made this last night (to have for dinner tonight and Thursday!) We sampled it and it was FAB.U.LOUS!!

    I also just ordered that Farm Chicks cookbook.

    Now that I'm feeling better, I'll be making more home cooked meals!
