My Boyfriend’s Meatloaf

Preheat oven 350F.

Prepare a loaf pan. Line with tin foil to lift the baked loaf out and spray with Pam or similar nonstick spray.

Prepare the stuffing/dressing mix in the microwave.

Place ground beef in a large bowl.
Add beaten egg and mix thoroughly.
Add a handful of oatmeal or breadcrumbs and mix well.
Add onion soup mix and mix well.

On the counter, lay out about 14 to 16 inches of either waxed paper or Saran wrap and position it so you can roll this towards you.

Place the burger mixture in the centre and press with a large spoon into a rectangular shape with an even depth of about ¾ inch all around. The width of the rectangle should be the same as the length of a loaf pan.

Place the prepared dressing (Stovetop) mixture all over the meat. Slightly press it into the mixture and leave a bit of an exposed edge.

Take the far edge of the Saran wrap and pull towards you so the mixture rolls into a pinwheel. As you roll gently, press the mixture to avoid breakage and press the edges to the inside. Continue rolling and when complete, secure the edge into the loaf with your fingertips.

Place the loaf in the foil-lined loaf pan and bake for about 45 minutes or until nicely browned on top.

Let the loaf sit for about 5 minutes to set before slicing.
