Spinach Meatloaf has been a favorite for years.  It’s one of those dishes that looks like it was hard to make but it’s so easy!

Ingredients

1-1/2 pounds ground beef
3/4 c. breadcrumbs
1/2 c. milk
1 egg
2 carrots, finely chopped or grated
1 onion, finely chopped
salt & pepper
1 tsp. oregano
1 pound fresh spinach or 1 box frozen spinach
1/2 c. feta cheese
1/2 c. cottage cheese

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350°.

If using fresh spinach, wash and remove stems.  If using frozen spinach, thaw and squeeze as much liquid from the spinach as possible.  Discard the liquid.  (I use fresh spinach.)

Mix ground beef, bread crumbs, milk, onion, egg, carrots, salt and pepper.

Spread a piece of waxed paper onto the counter.  Pat the meat mixture into a rectangle that you can roll up and stuff into your loaf pan.  Spread the spinach on top of the meat, then add the feta cheese and cottage cheese.  Sprinkle oregano on top, and depending on how much salt and pepper used in the meat mixture, you may want to add more salt and pepper now.

Using the waxed paper to hold it all together, roll the whole thing up jelly roll fashion and put into loaf pan.

Bake at 350 for one hour or until done.  Remove from oven and let sit for 10 minutes.  Drain any grease that has cooked out of the meat. Slice and serve!
