Categories     Beef

Yield 6 people

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 tbs olive oil
1.5 pounds ground chuck
1 large onion chopped
1 tsp each of oregano, basil and thyme
3 or 4 cloves of crushed garlic or to taste
several shakes of red pepper flakes
1 egg
3/4 package of fresh spinach chopped or 1 10 oz box of thawed frozen chopped spinach drained
1/3 cup parmesan cheese
bread crumbs, I use flavored panko crumbs

Steps:

  • Saute onions and the herbs in olive oil until soft, add spinach and toss until wilted . Set aside to cool. Mix meat, egg, cooled spinach miture cheese and add bread crumbs as needed to form loaves. Form either 1 large or 2 small loaves. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 and 1/2 hour. If desired , after one hour spread top of loaves with ketsup and return tp oven. I make 2 loaves because there are only 2 of us and the rest freezes wonderfully. Any leftovers make good sandwiches!
