A while back, a friend gave me a couple of boxes of matzah meal, and I was kicking around ideas for using it. One thing you always use bread crumbs for is meatloaf and meatballs, so I thought I’d give it a try.Today we’re going to cook a simple meatloaf. This meatloaf is very similar to (I mean, a meatloaf is a meatloaf, right?) the one we cooked back on April 24, 2009 with one major difference; instead of using oatmeal this meatloaf uses matzah meal. This gives our meatloaf a finer “grain” which allows for thinner slices, which are great for sandwiches.
Our ingredients are:
2 pounds of ground beef
1 cup of matzah meal
2 eggs
2/3 cup of Marinara sauce
Put all the ingredients in a big mixing bowl. Mix everything very well (by hand still works best.) and form into a loaf in a baking dish. (Tip: crack your eggs into a large drinking glass and scramble with a fork before adding them to the rest of the ingredients for better distribution throughout the meatloaf.)
Spoon a bit of Marinara sauce on top of the meatloaf and bake at 350° for one hour. Remove from oven and let rest for 15 minutes before slicing. (This meatloaf would work well for this sandwich…) Enjoy!
