blue artemis' mother-in-law's Meatloaf

Thanks, blue artemis!
  • 2 lbs ground meat (beef, turkey, pork, lamb) The best is a combination of two
  • Some Italian sausage. ( I usually add about 1 lb. She left this out of the original recipe, and told me later)
  • 1 bunch Italian parsley
  • 1 bunch Swiss Chard (or one bunch spinach if you can't get swiss chard)
  • 1 med onion chopped
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 to 1 cup of bread or cracker crumbs
Wilt the swiss chard (just the leaves, discard the stems). Put the chard, parsely, onion, egg and seasonings in the blender or food processor until everything is blended and almost liquidy.
Mix the blended items into the meat and add enough bread crubs to get the texture dry enough.

Place in a 350 degree oven for 1-1/2 hours. At about 45 minutes, you can cover the top with ketchup and let it all finish cooking.
