Recipe from George Stella’s GOOD CARB FAMILY COOKBOOK

Ingredients

• 2 pounds ground chuck (may use mixed ground meats)
• 2 large eggs
• 1 ⁄2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 ⁄4 cup small diced red onion
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
• 2 small cloves garlic, minced
• 1 ⁄2 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 ⁄2 teaspoon dried basil
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 ⁄2 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 ⁄2 cup roasted red bell pepper strips
• 4 ounces baked ham, cut into strips
• 8 ounces fresh whole mozzarella cheese, cut into strips (may use sliced or shredded)
• SPECIAL EQUIPMENT: 8 compartment mini loaf pan

Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat oven to 350° F. In a large bowl, mix together the beef, eggs and everything except the pepper strips, ham and mozzarella.

2. Use 1⁄2 the meat mixture to equally line the bottom of all 8 sections of the mini loaf pan.

3. Next place equal amounts of the strips of peppers, ham and cheese into the center of each compartment and press into the bottom layer of meat mixture.

4. Cover each section of the pan with the remaining beef mixture and press down lightly, sealing the fillings in as best as possible.

5. Bake for about 25 minutes, or until the temperature on a meat thermometer registers 165° F. Drain fat and serve.
