Parmesan Meatloaf

1 pound lean ground beef
1/2 cup prepared spaghetti sauce - divided use
1/2 cup dry bread crumbs
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese - divided use
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
1 large egg, beaten
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning

  1. 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 or put flat in a freezer bag. Label. Freeze.

To prepare and serve, thaw by placing in the refrigerator for 24 hours, or the sink for a few hours.
  1. Heat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  1. Place thawed loaf in an 12 x 8 x 2-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.

Makes 4 servings.

The best meatloaf I've ever had. Could very well be one of my husband's top 5 meals now. Thanks for showing us all up Kayte. ;-)
