Italian Rolled Meatloaf
You can make this using all beef or half beef and half ground pork in place of the sausage meat, I have to say that the using the sausage meat with the ground beef is better! You can really add in any spices that you like, I prefer it with oregano, use seasoning salt for this or regular white salt
