#2152 - Italian Meatloaf

(by Shirley McNevich)

1 1/2 lbs. ground chuck
3/4 cup Italian breadcrumbs
1 beaten egg
1/2 tsp. pepper
1 tsp. salt
1/2 cup chopped onions
1 - 8oz. jar pasta sauce
3 slices American cheese
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

In a bowl add ground chuck, breadcrumbs, beaten egg, chopped onions, 1/3 of the pasta sauce, salt and pepper--mix with your hands until combined. Form the mixture into a flat rectangle on a piece of wax paper. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese all over the top. Lay the sliced American cheese over the mozzarella cheese. Start at one side and roll it into a loaf shape (tucking in the ends). Place the loaf into a greased glass baking dish. Cover with foil and bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour, then remove foil, drain off any grease, pour remaining pasta sauce over the meatloaf and bake uncovered for 15 minutes longer.
