Ingredients:
1 pound ground beef
2 large eggs
1/4 cup breadcrumbs
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1 to 2 garlic cloves, finely minced
1 small yellow onion, grated
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup pasta sauce (marinara sauce, homemade, meatless)
1/2 cup shredded Italian cheese blend
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees . Grease a loaf pan very lightly with cooking spray and keep it aside.
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, eggs, breadcrumbs, dried basil, dried thyme, dried oregano, minced garlic, grated onion, salt, pepper, and grated Parmesan cheese. Avoid overhandling the mixture to prevent it from becoming tough.
Place the mixture in the greased loaf pan and shape it into a loaf. Top the meatloaf with the pasta sauce.
Place the filled loaf pan on a baking sheet and bake for 1 hour.
Remove the meatloaf from the oven and drain any excess grease.
Sprinkle the top of the meatloaf with the shredded cheese.
Put the meatloaf back in the oven and continue to bake until the cheese melts.
Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it sit for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
Enjoy your delicious Parmesan Meatloaf!
