  • 2 Cloves Garlic, grated or minced fine

  • ½ Cup Italian Bread Crumbs (plain work too)

  1. Preheat Oven to 350 degrees
  2. Spray the interior of your cold dutch oven with cooking spray
  3. In a large bowl mix the eggs, cheese, garlic, parsley, salt & pepper well.
  4. Add in the bread crumbs & ground meat and mix with your hands GENTLY until well combined
  5. Shape into a loaf and place in your dutch oven - it can be round if you need it to, no big deal
