Meatloaf

For dinner last night, I pulled together a quick and easy meatloaf which is always a favorite, unless of course you are my sister. I grew up on meatloaf, made my mom's way -- no ketchup allowed.

To start, you will need the following ingredients:

Ground lean beef

Large brown egg

Seasoning veggies

Chives

Baby Bella mushrooms

Diced green peppers

Bread crumbs or dry oatmeal

Grated Parmesan cheese

Chunky vegetable tomato sauce

Salt and pepper

In a large bowl, mix your beef with egg and add in all the veggies (you can improvise here... add whatever you want). Add in bread crumbs or oatmeal and Parmesan cheese and mix thoroughly. Mix in about 1/4 jar of tomato sauce, mix and transfer to a baking dish. Top with the remaining tomato sauce and Parmesan cheese.

Bake on 350 degrees until the sauce is boiling and meat is done (approximately 35-45 minutes).

Pair with vegetables, potatoes or pasta (shown with pasta nests and artichoke hearts). Enjoy!
