Category: Beef

1 lb Ground beef

1/2 lb Ground veal

1/2 lb Ground pork

2 Eggs

1/2 cup Fine bread crumbs

3/4 cup Chopped parsley

1/4 cup Finely chopped chives

2 tbsp Fresh basil or 1 T dried

1/4 cup Chopped green pepper

1 1/2 tsp Salt

1/2 tsp Freshly ground black pepper

Bacon slices to cover top

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Combine all ingredients except the bacon slices. Shape the mixture into an oval loaf. Place the loaf on a rack (instead of a rack, I put my meat loaf on sliced carrot sticks) in a baking pan or pie plate. Top the loaf with the bacon slices. Bake one and one-half hours. Can be served with a mushroom sauce, brown gravy or tomato sauce. Enjoy!
