CHEESE COVERED MEATLOAF
I got this recipe many years ago with my first blender.
3/4 cup milk
2 eggs
2 slices bread, torn into pieces
1/4 of a small onion
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground sage
dash black pepper
2 lbs ground beef
1 cup milk
2 tbsp all-purpose flour
4-oz sharp process American cheese, cut into cubes (1 cup)
1/2 slice canned pimento
Place 3/4 cup milk, eggs, bread, onion, salt, sage, and pepper into a blender container. Blend until combined then add to the ground beef in a large mixing bowl. Mix together well. Pat the meat mixture into a 9x5x3-inch loaf pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 1/2 hours.
Prepare cheese sauce by placing remaining ingredients in the blender container. Blend until ingredients are combined and cheese is finely chopped. Transfer the mixture to a saucepan; cook and stir over low heat until the sauce is thick and smooth. Place meat loaf on a serving platter then spoon the cheese sauce over the top.
Yield: 8 servings
