Olive Tapenade Meatloaf

Ingredients

• 1-1/2 pounds Ground Beef
• 2 eggs, slightly beaten
• 1/2 cup soft bread crumbs (made from onion sandwich roll)
• 1/3 cup prepared olive tapenade
• 3/4 to 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper

Instructions

1. Heat oven to 350°F. Combine all ingredients in large bowl, mixing lightly but thoroughly.

   Cook's Tip: One 2-ounce onion sandwich roll yields 1 cup soft bread crumbs. To make bread crumbs, place torn roll in food processor or blender container. Cover; pulse on and off to form fine crumbs.

2. Shape beef mixture into 8 x 4-inch loaf on rack in broiler pan. Bake in 350°F oven 1 to 1-1/4 hours, until instant-read thermometer inserted into center registers 160°F.

   Cook's Tip: Cooking times are for fresh or thoroughly thawed Ground Beef. Color is not a reliable indicator of Ground Beef doneness.

3. Let stand 10 minutes. Cut into slices. Serve with additional olive tapenade, if desired.

• Test Kitchen Tips Use a gentle touch with ground beef. Over-mixing will result in burgers, meatballs or meatloaves with a firm texture.
