    ENT: Cara's Italian Meatloaf


    Source of Recipe


    Cara Monteleone
    Categories: Ground beef, Italian, Meats
    Yield: 4 Servings

    1 1/2 lb lean ground beef
    1/4 lb hot Italian sausage
    1/2 lb mild Italian sausage
    1/2 oz dried porcini mushrooms
    2 eggs
    1/4 cup pine nuts
    1/2 teaspoon dried italian herbs
    2 cups spinach leaf -- fresh and chopped
    1/4 c marinara sauce

    Soak mushrooms in hot water for 1 hr. then drain.

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

    Grease a loaf pan with olive oil then set aside. Combine all ingredients except sauce until thoroughly mixed. Press into your loaf pan. Bake for 45-50 minutes. Remove from oven then allow to rest for 10-12 minutes before serving.

    Judi's note: I would add about 1/3 cup fresh or dried bread crumbs to this loaf along with about 1/4 cup water; mix with the rest of the ingredients before forming into a loaf. The recipe does not mention how to use the marinara sauce. I would brush the meatloaf 1/2 way through baking with the marinara sauce and continue to cook until done.

    ORIGIN: Cara Monteleone, Miami-FL, circa 1999
