1/2 onion, chopped
1 sprig rosemary, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 package Pork, Veal, Beef mix (about 1.5 pounds)
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 tablespoons mustard
1 egg
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2-1 cup panko rice flakes
1 cup shredded mozzarella
Cook onion with rosemary and garlic for about 5 min until translucent and soft. Combine onion mixture with ground meat, tomato paste, mustard, egg, salt and pepper in large bowl. Mix lightly with your hands and then add panko and continue mixing gently. Over mixing will make the meatloaf tough, so resist the urge!
Spray baking sheet with cooking spray and turn meat out onto tray. Flatten into rectangle and sprinkle cheese down the middle. Fold up both sides creating a loaf. Be sure to close up ends and any cracks so cheesey goodness doesn't ooze out. Spread a little tomato paste on top of loaf and sprinkle with a little more cheese.
Meal Modifications:
-If you can't find the 3 meat mixture, 85% beef could be used as well.
-Panko gives the meatloaf a lighter texture, but if you have breadcrumbs, they can be substituted.
-Any of your favorite cheeses could be used instead of mozzarella.
