Recipe - Herbed Meat Loaf

1 pound Ground beef
One half pound Ground veal
One half pound Ground pork
2 Eggs
One half cup Fine bread crumbs
Three fourths cup Chopped parsley
One fourth cup Finely chopped chives
2 tablespoon Fresh basil or 1 T dried
One fourth cup Chopped green pepper
1 One half teaspoon Salt
One half teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
Bacon slices to cover top

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Combine all ingredients except the bacon
slices. Shape the mixture into an oval loaf. Place the loaf on a rack
(instead of a rack, I put my meat loaf on cut or sliced up carrot sticks) in a baking
pan or pie plate. Top the loaf with the bacon slices. Bake one and onehalf
hours. Can be served with a mushroom sauce, brown gravy or tomato sauce.
Enjoy!
