Savory Stuffed Meat Loaf

Directions

Heat the oven to 350℉ (180℃).

Mix all of the ingredients except the stuffing together.

Spread two thirds of the mixture into an ungreased loaf pan 9 by 5 by 3 inches, pressing the mixture up the sides of the pan to within ¾ inch of the top.

Spoon the stuffing onto the mixture in the pan and then top with the remaining meat mixture covering the stuffing completely.

Bake in the oven for 1 hour and 10 minutes.

Drain off the excess fat and let stand for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing into thick slices.

Serve on a heated platter.
