Meatloaf tropicale

6 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1½ pounds Lean Ground Beef
1 Egg; Lg
1 cup Bananas; Ripe, Mashed, 2 Lg
½ cup Oats; Quick Cooking
½ cup Green Bell Pepper; Chopped
2 tablespoons Onion; Chopped
1 teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon Mustard; Prepared
¼ teaspoon Nutmeg
⅛ teaspoon Allspice
2 Slices Bacon
3 tablespoons Orange Marmalade

Directions

Heat the oven to 350 degrees F. Mix all of the ingredients, except the bacon and marmalade, together. Spread the mixture in an ungreased loaf pan, 9 X 5 X 3-inches. Crisscross the bacon slices on the top of the meat mixture and spread the marmalade over the whole thing. Bake, uncovered for 1 to 1¼ hours. Drain off the excess fat and let stand for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing. NOTE: The bananas add a unique, almost mysterious flavor and a special moistness to this elegant meat loaf.
