Spinach-Parmesan Meatloaf Recipe

Spinach-Parmesan Meatloaf Recipe

  • 1½ pounds ground beef
  • ½ package (5 ounces) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
  • ¼ cup chopped yellow onion
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • ½ cup finely crushed saltines (about 10)
  • ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • ¼ cup whole milk
  • ¼ teaspoon dried thyme
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground pepper
  • Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
  • Black olives for garnish
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients except the olives and mix well. Turn the mixture into a lightly sprayed or oiled 9-by-5-inch loaf pan and gently pat down. Bake until the loaf is firm and the top is lightly browned, about 1 hour. Let stand in the pan for 5 to 10 minutes before serving. Remove the loaf from the pan and slice to serve. Garnish with the olives.
