Meatloaf Parmesan


I've been making my meatloaf with this recipe for the past few years, and it was one of Joe's favorite meals. The meatloaf is moist and tastes like a giant meatball. I typically serve this with a side of pasta, but last night I did roasted red potatoes with Italian seasoning. I definitely recommend this! The original recipe is from meals.com.

Meatloaf Parmesan

1 pound lean ground beef
1/2 cup prepared spaghetti sauce, divided
1/2 cup dry bread crumbs
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided
1/4 cup onion, finely chopped
1 egg, beaten
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning (I use a few good shakes of garlic powder, basil and oregano)

Heat oven to 375°F. Using your hands, mix together beef, half the spaghetti sauce, bread crumbs, half the Parmesan cheese, onion, egg and Italian seasoning in a medium mixing bowl. Shape into loaf and place in an 12x8x2-inch baking dish. Top with remaining spaghetti sauce and cheese. Bake 40 to 45 minutes or to desired doneness. During baking time, if desired, use a baster to remove excess grease from pan.
Serving Size: 4
