How to Prepare a Quick and Easy Meatloaf

How to prepare a delicious main dish for dinner. This is one of my personal recipes thanks to my Italian Papa who was a Chef for thirty years. Blending the cheese, bread, and egg gives the loaf a lighter texture. Delicious! Pauline Libutti Artist & Writer Buon Appetito Recipes www.RiverRockCritters.com

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• 2 eggs
• 1/2 cup finely chopped onions
• 1 ½ tsp. of salt
• 2 tbsp. parmesan cheese
• 3 strips of bacon
• 1 tsp. of fresh garlic

1. Mix ingredients and put in loaf baking dish
2. Put bacon on top of meatloaf
3. Put baking dish in pan of water—make sure water does not dry out and cook at 400 degrees for one hour (this makes the loaf moist)
