Zucchini Meatloaf Italiano
3 TBSP Olive Oil
2 medium zucchini's, chopped (approx 1 1/2 cups)
1 medium onion, chopped
2 or 3 cloves garlic, crushed
1 1/2 lbs. ground beef
2 TBSP snipped fresh parsley (dried works also)
1 egg
3/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
Preheat oven to 350f
Mix the beef, parsley, egg, cheese and salt/pepper in a large bowl.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet and saute the zucchini, onion & garlic for 7-8 min.
Let the veggies cool a bit, then put them in a big bowl with the meat mixture, and mix thoroughly.
Take the mixture and put it in a large loaf pan, if you like, or form the loaf right on a broiler rack so the grease will drop off.
Bake for 75-90 min. or until juices run clea, but the loaf is not dried out.
