"meat-Ralf" Makeover

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 lbs ground beef
• 1/2 lb ground sausage
• 1 cup Italian breadcrumbs
• 1/2 cup cream or milk
• 1 egg

• 1 (6 ounce) can tomato sauce, hold 1/3 can for top
• 1 small onion, minced
• 2 garlic cloves or 2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce (optional)
• 1 teaspoon salt, adjust to your taste
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne powder or black pepper

Directions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 350.

2. 2

   Mix ground meats together until blended well. If using Italian sausage slices brown first and add last to keep them from falling apart.

3. 3

   Mix egg, cream, and 1/2 cup tomato sauce (or diced tomatoes and fresh basil) together then mix into meat. Using your hands seems to be the easiest way, don’t forget to wash and remove your rings.

4. 4

   Add breadcrumbs, finely minced garlic and onion, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Don't be afraid to use the cayenne powder its not enough to burn you and it really gives the dish a lot of flavor. Mix well.

5. 5

   Form into a large loaf pan. Bake at 350 for 1 hour, top with remaining tomato sauce or ketchup, dust with salt and sugar, and bake for an additional 15 to 20 minutes.

6. 6

   You can use 2 small loaf pans if you reduce the baking time by 15 minutes.

7. 7

   Serve with your favorite fresh veggie or garlic mashed potatoes.
