What's for Dinner Tonight? - Meatloaf with Hot Capicola and Swiss Cheese

We love meatloaf, but on occasion I like to change it up a bit for new flavor combinations. My latest meatloaf recipe came about as I had some Hot Capicola and Swiss cheese on hand. This is easy to make and was a big surprise and a big hit at dinner. The combination of flavors was delicious, and this would be a great entrée for guests.

Meatloaf with Hot Capicola and Swiss Cheese

1.25 to 1.5 lbs. ground beef
1 egg
1/2 cup plain bread crumbs
1/4  to 1/3 cup chopped onion
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
2-3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce (enough to make mixture moist)
6 slices Hot Capicola
6 slices Swiss cheese

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray 13x9 baking dish with cooking spray.

2. In a large bowl, mix ground beef, egg, bread crumbs, onion, garlic, salt, pepper, basil, oregano, and Worcestershire sauce together until well blended.


3. Put large sheet of waxed paper on your work space. Put meatloaf mixture on the waxed paper and spread out into about a 10x12 rectangle. Place the 6 slices of Hot Capicola on top of your meatloaf, and then the 6 slices of Swiss cheese. Using the waxed paper to assist, roll up the meatloaf. Once this is done, pinch the ends together to seal.

4. Bake the meatloaf for about 45 minutes to 1 hour. Let sit for about 10 minutes before slicing.

Bon appetit!

The Rock of Gibraltar

On our way to El Puerto De Santa Maria, we made a detour to see the Rock of Gibraltar. If you have ever seen a Prudential Financial advertisement, you will recognize the Rock of Gibraltar which is their logo. The Rock of Gibraltar is a single large block of stone 426 m (1,398 ft) high. It is a limestone peninsula and mountainous rock that jets out of the end of the British territory at the southwestern tip of Europe. It is home to a network of caves, including the famous St. Michael’s Cave, which is open to the public. At the top of the Rock, visitors can enjoy amazing panoramic views of the surrounding area, including Morocco on a clear day. Seeing the Rock from below is quite a sight, however, taking a tour to the top tells a much bigger story of how impressive it truly is. We headed out in a small 6-passenger van to make the climb up to the top of the Rock. The road is quite narrow and winds back and forth along the edge of the Rock. For someone like me who is afraid o...
