2 cans (2-1/4 ounces each) sliced ripe olives, drained

Preparation

Step 1

Combine the first 11 ingredients in a large bowl. Crumble beef over
mixture and mix well. Pat into two greased 9-in. x 5-in. loaf pans.

Cover and freeze one meat loaf for up to 3 months. Bake the remaining
loaf, uncovered, at 350° for 50-55 minutes until no pink remains
and a thermometer reads 160°. Top with cheese and additional
pizza sauce if desired. Let stand 10 minutes before slicing.

To use frozen meat loaf: Bake frozen meat loaf as directed,
increasing time to 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 hours. Top with pizza sauce and
cheese if desired. Yield: 2 loaves
