directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Mix the meat, egg, breadcrumbs, one half of the jar of Portobello Shiraz Sauce or Tuscan Merlot Sauce, pepper, and salt (unless you are using one of the cheese variations).
2. Pour remaining half jar of Portobello Shiraz Sauce or Tuscan Merlot Sauce over the meat mixture, and bake for 1 1/2 hours.

optional: Make a potato layer on the bottom of the pan, under any of the variations. If you choose to do so, peel the potatoes, slice them a little over 1/4-inch thick, and cook in boiling, salted water for about 5-10 minutes, just to start the cooking process, not until they are so tender they fall apart.

Then drain them, and place a layer or two in the bottom of an oiled loaf pan. This creates a sort of "meal-in-one pan" convenience, and the potatoes soak up the flavor of the cooking juices.
