Author Dorothy Kirk, Home Service Center

A quick-cook recipe that is like meatloaf and sides all rolled into one! Easy to prepare and ready in a flash.

Ingredients

• 1 pound (0.45kg) ground beef
• 1 1/2 teaspoons (9g) salt
• 1/8 teaspoon (0.6g) pepper
• 1 egg, well beaten
• 2 tablespoons (28g) butter or margarine, melted
• 6 tablespoons (40g) fine, dry bread crumbs
• 2 tablespoons (35ml) tomato juice
• 1 1/2 cups (400g) mashed potatoes
• 1 1/2 cups (375g) cooked peas

Instructions

1. Mix together all ingredients except potatoes and peas; roll with rolling pin between two pieces of waxed paper to form rectangular sheet approximately 6 by 12 inches and 1/2-inch thick.
2. Remove top waxed paper and spread 1 1/2 cups seasoned mashed potatoes (may be leftover) on crosswise half of meat.
3. Spread other half with mashed peas (canned, quick-frozen or fresh), seasoned with salt, pepper and minced onion.
4. Roll meat firmly like jelly roll; wrap in waxed paper, chill several hours. (This preparation may be done as long in advance as 24 hours if roll is kept in refrigerator.)
5. When ready to cook cut with sharp knife into six 1-inch slices; place on preheated broiler 3 to 4 inches below source of heat; brush with melted butter; broil slowly 12 minutes, turn; brush again with butter and broil 12 minutes on other side.
