DA BEEF LOVER'S HALF-TIME STUFFED MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• Lightly grease a shallow roasting pan.
• Prepare instant rice according to package directions.
• In a large bowl, mix together ground sirloin, ground round, egg, chopped onion, green pepper, mushrooms and cooked rice.
• Season with garlic powder, salt and pepper.
• On clean counter top, arrange sheets of wax paper approximately 1 1/2 feet long by 1 foot wide.
• Place meat mixture on wax paper, and flatten into a large square, about 1/2 inch thick (the thinner the better).
• Sprinkle with more garlic powder, then layer with parmesan, spinach, ham, salami and Swiss cheese.
• Using the wax paper, roll the meat as tightly as possible while removing the wax paper as you go.
• Tuck the two open ends into the meatloaf itself, and with hands lightly coated in vegetable oil, shape into a loaf.
• While lifting with the wax paper, transfer to shallow roasting pan, then slide wax paper out from underneath.
• Bake in preheated oven for 1 hour and 10 minutes, or until meat is no longer pink and juices run clear.
• Allow to cool 15 minutes before serving.
