ANTOINETTE LORDO'S MELT IN YOUR MOUTH MEATLOAF RECIPE - (4/5)

Steps:

• Grate potato and onion using a box grater. Heat a large frying pan with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Add grated potato and onion, season with salt and pepper, then sauté until light brown about 5-6 minutes. Set aside and allow to cool. In a large bowl mix the meat, bread crumbs, grated cheese, eggs, tomato sauce, parsley, basil and garlic powder. Add the cooled potato and onion, mix well with hands. Transfer mixture onto waxed paper and flatten into a rectangle. Lay cubed mozzarella in the middle of the loaf and fold over all sides to cover. Transfer into a greased pan, rub meatloaf with olive oil and bake in a preheated 375°F oven for 1 hour, uncover. For the Gravy: Heat all ingredients in a saucepan stirring often until it starts to boil. Continue to stir until mixture thickens to preferred consistency. Serve over meatloaf.
