Ricotta Swiss Wedges (Crazy Meatloaf!) image

When I saw this recipe - I just had to try it! It's a meatloaf that looks like.... a cake!!! You bake it in a 9 inch springform pan and you add ricotta cheese and swiss cheese on top - it looks great and it is delicious! I adapted this recipe from a Jean Pare cookbook.
