I had a request for the recipe for the meatloaf I ruined.  So, here it is:

Pepper Jack Meat Loaf

      1 egg

      1 cup seasoned bread crumbs

   1/4 cup chopped onions

   1/2 to 1 teaspoon salt

   1/2 teaspoon pepper

1 1/2 lbs lean ground beef

      1 cup (4 oz) shredded pepper jack cheese, divided

In a large bowl, combine the egg, bread crumbs, onion, salt and pepper.  Crumble beef over mixture and mix well.  Press half of the beef mixture onto the bottom and halfway up the sides of a greased 8-in x 2-in loaf pan.  Sprinkle 3/4 cup cheese over meat to within 1/2 in. of sides.  Pat remaining beef mixture over cheese.

Bake, uncovered, at 350* for 50-55 minutes or until meat is no longer pink and a meat thermometer reads 160*.  Sprinkle with remaining cheese.  Bake 5 minutes longer or until cheese is melted.  Let stand for 10 minutes before slicing. 

Yield: 6 servings

 

Now, if you want to make it just like me, you will have to remember to drop it as you take it out of the oven... hehehe...
