517. ELK CORDON BLEU MEAT LOAF

2 lbs ground elk
1 onion, chopped
1 carrot, grated
1 stalk celery
1 1/3 cups cracker crumbs
2 eggs
1/2 cup milk
4 strips bacon
1 tsp dry mustard
2 tbsp horseradish
1 tsp salt
grated several slices of ham
several slices of Swiss cheese

Combine all ingredients except ham, cheese and bacon. After mixing well, pat out on a piece of plastic wrap to make a rectangle 15x12”. Place ham and cheese on top. Roll the loaf lengthwise. The plastic wrap will help you roll, as well as transfer the loaf seam side down onto the baking pan. Remove plastic wrap. Make sure you seal the ends of the loaf well. Place bacon on top. Bake at 350° for 45 minutes to 1 hour.
