Cheese-Stuffed Meatloaves


This was a recipe I made for dinner last night with corn on the cob and mashed potatoes.


Verdict: Easy. I thought it could use more flavor, though.


Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups jarred pasta sauce, divided (I don't like jarred sauce, so I make my own)

1/2 cup Italian bread crumbs

1 egg (or 1/4 cup egg substitute)

1/2 cup diced onions

1 1/4 lb lean ground beef, 7% fat

4 sticks mozzarella string cheese (I just bought a block of mozzarella and cut it into wedges, it's cheaper than the sticks)



1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Coat baking sheet with cooking spray. Combine 3/4 cup pasta sauce and remaining ingredients (except cheese) until blended.


2. Divide into four portions; shape around each string cheese, covering cheese completely. Seal tightly so hot cheese will stay inside (wash hands).


3. Bake 20–25 minutes or until 160°F.
Before serving, microwave remaining 3/4 cup pasta sauce on HIGH 1 minute or until hot. Serve.
