Champps Meatloaf

Serves 10.

3 lb. ground beef

3/4 lb. ground Italian sausage

1/2 c. medium-diced onions

1/4 c. horseradish

2 tbsp. finely chopped garlic

2 tsp. seasoned salt, such as Lawry's

2 tsp. ground black pepper

1/4 c. sour cream

1/4 c. finely chopped fresh parsley, without stems

2 tsp. dried oregano or marjoram

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large mixing bowl, combine the beef and sausage, and mix thoroughly. Add the onions, horseradish, garlic, chile sauce, seasoned salt, pepper, sour cream, parsley and oregano. Mix for 5 minutes. Add the crumbs and mix for 3 minutes.

Using a 18-by 24-inch sheet of parchment (baking) paper, place the small end in front of you on a work table. Place the meat in a log form on the near end of the paper about 5 inches high and 5 inches across; press the meat tightly so there are no air holes in the log (knead as you would when pressing pizza dough); tuck in ends.

Smooth the ends and leave 4 inches at each edge of the paper.

Roll the meat in the paper away from you and place the rolled log onto a baking sheet. Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees.
