HOW TO DRESS UP MEATLOAF:
1 pkg puff pastry sheet (thawed) 1 egg slightly beaten & 1 tbsp water
Preparation: 1. Mix all the ingredients above gently so as not to dry out the meat and place in loaf pan with removable bottom if you have one
2. Bake at 350 degrees for about 45-50 minutes (the juices on top will be clear and you will know that the meatloaf is done)
3. Remove puff pastry, warm (if you take it out of the freezer the night before and put it in the fridge it is ready when you are remove meatloaf from oven), and let cool down while you lightly roll the puff pastry out not much bigger than it is already (about 2 inches)
4. Place meatloaf on pastry, top down and fold like a present with the seam side down. Cut extra little leaves or what design you want out of the other pastry to place on top and sides of pastry. Note: may want to decorate by cooking 10 extra leaves to place on each slice.
5. Turn pastry over and brush with the egg wash then place your cutouts all over it and bake 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
6. Remove and serve with your favorite vegetable.
