Italian Style Meatloaf

Aubrey and I have been apart for about 5 days now due to both of us traveling for work. Since I was slap worn out, I wanted to make something really easy and something that Aubrey would like. He's a big beef eater, and I was pretty sure he would like this meat loaf. I knew I was right after he got up to get seconds. I'll definitely make this again in the future.


Ingredients:
1 1/2 pounds 92% lean ground beef
1 cup fat free tomato-basil pasta sauce, divided
1/2 cup Italian-seasoned breadcrumbs
1/2 cup preshredded fresh Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
1/3 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 large egg whites
Cooking spray

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350.

Combine beef, 1/2 cup pasta sauce, and remaining ingredients except cooking spray in a large bowl. Shape beef mixture into an 8 x 4-inch loaf on a broiler pan coated with cooking spray. Brush remaining 1/2 cup pasta sauce over top of meat loaf. Bake at 350 for 1 hour and 10 minutes or until a thermometer registers 160. Let stand 10 minutes. Cut loaf into 12 slices.

Yield: 6 servings (serving size: 2 slices):
