Ingredients

1 pound lean ground beef
1/4 pound ground pork
1/4 pound ground veal
1/2 cup dry bread crumbs
1 egg, beaten
1 tablespoon prepared mustard
1 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
2 cups (8 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese

SAUCE:
3/4 cup ketchup

Directions

In a large bowl, combine beef, pork and veal; mix well. Add bread crumbs, egg, mustard, salt and pepper; blend well. On waxed paper, pat meat mixture into a 14-in. x 8-in. rectangle. Cover with mozzarella cheese and sprinkle with parsley. Starting at the narrow end, roll up tightly, jelly-roll style. Press ends firmly to seal. Place seam sides down in a 9-in. x 5-in. loaf pan.
For sauce, combine ketchup, water and Worcestershire sauce; pour over meat loaf. Bake at 350° for 1-1/4 hours or until a thermometer reads 160°, basting frequently. Yield: 6 servings.
