“Elvis’ Special Recipe Cheeseburger Meatloaf”
originally got this one from “Paula’s Home Cooking” … It was (purportedly) Elvis Presley’s personal favorite meatloaf:
1 lb ground beef
1 tsp house seasoning (see recipe below)
1 medium onion (chopped)
1 medium bell pepper (chopped)
1 cup grated cheddar cheese
2 tbsp worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup sour cream
1 cup crushed ritz crackers
1 tsp lawry’s seasoned salt
2 slices white bread
paula’s house seasoning:
1 cup salt
1/4 cup black pepper
1/4 cup garlic powder
mix ingredients together and store in an airtight container for up to 6 months. makes 1 1/2 cups.
pre-heat oven to 350F.
mix all ingredients together, except bread slices. shape into loaf. line a 1 1/2 quart loaf pan with the bread slices. place meatloaf on top (bread soaks up grease, and should be thrown away after meatloaf is done)
** special note
instead of actually watching the oven time, i just use a meat thermometer intermittently until the center of the loaf reaches about 160F.
special cheese sauce for meatloaf (optional):
1 (10 3/4-ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
1 cup milk
1 1/2 cups grated cheddar
chopped onions, optional
1 bunch fresh parsley leaves, chopped, optional
heat the soup and milk over medium heat; add the cheese. Add the chopped onions and parsley to the sauce, if desired. Pour Sauce over the meatloaf or pass at the table.
since i am an elvis fan, i make this on occassion when i have friends over for dinner. i serve it on a special “elvis” serving dish (you guessed it … has a full color picture of the king on the plate).
of all the different kinds of meatloaf i have had over the years, this one really takes the cake. by using the bread slices to soak up the grease, and by not using any pork, this meatloaf not only turns out tasting incredible, but has a lower fat content than many others.
enjoy !

Sorry…I misread your request. I read it as meatloaf in a french read “pan” and not meatloaf stuffed french bread…my apologies. As of present I have no recipe for your particular request…but I’ll endevour to locate one. In the meantime perhaps you could just cut the end off a french loaf, core out the loaf, and stuff the shell with your favorite meatloaf…prepared already, and stuff the loaf shell…wrap in foil, brush the loaf with garlic butter first though, and bake in a 350 oven for 30 min. or so…pull back the foil and peek tosee hown it progresses, and jusdge your time accordingly. Sorry I was of no help!

This is one I found after years of doing it the old-fashioned way - everybody eats it practically before it hits the table!
2 lbs hamburger - not gr. chuck
2 eggs
1/2 onion, finely chopped
salt & pepper to taste
garlic powder
onion powder
italian bread crumbs
tabasco sauce to taste
crushed red peppers to taste
ketchup
Mix everything but bread crumbs, make a well & add them, turn into pan of your choice, put a little ketchup or tomato sauce on top, bake @350 1-1 1/2 hrs. I don’t have exact measurements, just basically season to taste. Enjoy! Marci
Hope you give this one a try, it is very good.
