7 steps

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon dripping
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 small garlic clove, crushed
  • 1 lb ground chuck
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • 2 slices bread, crusts removed
  • water
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 1/4 teaspoon rosemary or 1/4 teaspoon basil
  • fresh ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons dry breadcrumbs
  • 2 cups seasoned mashed potatoes
  • 1 tablespoon minced parsley (optional) or 1 tablespoon green pepper (optional)
  • 3 slices bacon (optional)

Directions

  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. 2
    Heat the drippings, add the onion and garlic and saute until the onion is transparent. Remove to mixing bowl and add the ground beef. Add the egg.
  3. 3
    Soften the bread in water, press out the excess water and add bread to the meat. Add the salt, oregano and pepper. Mix thoroughly.
  4. 4
    Sprinkle a piece of waxed paper with crumbs. Press the meat on the crumbs to make a rectangle about 1/2 inch thick.
  5. 5
    Beat the mashed potatoes with the parsley and spread on top of the meat. (If leftover potato is used, reheat before spreading).
  6. 6
    Using the waxed paper as an aid, roll the meat and potatoes, jelly-roll fashion, and place in a loaf pan or on a shallow baking pan. Grease the pan if the meat is very lean. Place the bacon on top if using or brush with additional drippings; baste at least once during baking.
  7. 7
    Bake about one hour and serve with a brown sauce made from the pan drippings, or with mushroom, tomato or other sauce.
