Equipment

  • Loaf pan
  • large bowl
  • Waxed paper

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 pounds ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 8 ounces tomato sauce, divided
  • 0.5 cup bread crumbs
  • 1 egg
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano, divided
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 0.125 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1.5 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Mix beef, onion, ½ of the tomato sauce, bread crumbs, egg, garlic, ½ teaspoon oregano, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Pat into a ½-inch-thick rectangle on a sheet of waxed paper. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top.
  • Lift up the short side of the waxed paper to start rolling up the meatloaf. Roll tightly, peeling back paper as you go. Seal edges in place. Transfer meatloaf to a loaf pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour. Combine remaining tomato sauce and ½ teaspoon oregano; pour over meatloaf and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Bake until cheese is melted, about 15 minutes more. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

I sometimes like to add extra garlic — it depends on who is coming over for dinner!
