This Italian cheese is so versatile that it can be used in both sweet and savory recipes from cheesecakes to lasagnas.

French salad dressing adds a sweet and tangy flavor to this meatloaf recipe. Hint: leftover meatloaf makes great sandwiches!

1 1/2 pound ground beef
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 cup dry bread crumbs
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup prepared French salad dressing
2 eggs
1 can (4 ounce size) sliced mushrooms, drained
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup ketchup
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Combine the beef, onion, bread crumbs, cheese, salad dressing, eggs, mushrooms, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Mix well but do not overwork the meat.
Transfer the meatloaf mixture to a 9x5-inch loaf pan and smooth the top.
Spread the ketchup evenly over the top of the meatloaf.
Place the pan in the oven and bake at 375 degrees F for 1 to 1 1/4 hours or until the meatloaf is cooked thoroughly through.
Remove the pan from the oven and let sit for 5 minutes. Drain off any excess grease then slice the meatloaf into serving pieces.

It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).
Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.

Can I prepare this the day before I bake it?
Yes, it should be fine to prepare and refrigerate until you are ready to bake it. I wouldn't make it more than 24 hours in advance though just for food safety reasons.
