Herbed Meat Loaf



INGREDIENTS:

1 pound ground beef

1/2 pound ground veal

1/2 pound ground pork

2 eggs

1/2 cup fine bread crumbs

3/4 cup chopped parsley

1/4 cup finely chopped chives

2 Tablespoons Fresh basil or 1 T dried

1/4 cup chopped green pepper

1 1/2 teaspoons salt

1/2  teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

bacon slices to cover top

DIRECTIONS:

1. 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.
