I found this Italian Meat Loaf recipe that uses bechamel:

http://www.thatsmyhome.com/venettos/mlgrat.htm


Italian Meat Loaf Gratin

1 1/2 lbs. ground beef

4 oz. ground pork

1/2 C. minced Mortadella

4 oz. minced salami meat

3 eggs

2 C. bechamel sauce

salt and pepper

Mix all the ingredients together in a large mixing bowl. Butter a
baking dish and pour in the mixture. Bake in a pre-heated 350°F. oven
for about an hour.

Can be served hot or at room temperature.


Thanks Rusty, I found that too and sort of loosely based my meatloaf on the
recipe- without the eggs It's in the oven right now. I didn't pre-cook
the hamburger and just mixed everything together.

We'll see in an hour!
