CHEESY SPINACH STUFFED MEATLOAF

Category: Meatloaf

1-1/2 lbs ground round
3/4 cup soft bread crumbs
1 egg
1 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper

Filling:
1 (10 oz) pkg frozen chopped spinach, thawed, drained and squeezed dry
1/2 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
3 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
1 tsp Italian seasoning
1/8 tsp garlic powder

Topping:
3 tbsp ketchup
1/4 cup shredded low-fat mozzarella cheese

In a large bowl, lightly combine meat loaf ingredients. On a waxed paper, pat into a 14-in. x 10-in. rectangle.

In a small bowl, combine filling ingredients. Spread over rectangle, leaving 3/4 in. around edges. Starting with a short end, roll up jelly-roll fashion. Press meat mixture over filling at both ends to seal. Place loaf, seam side down, on a rack in a roasting pan.

Bake, uncovered, at 350 for 1 hour. Spread with ketchup; bake for 15 minutes longer. Sprinkle with cheese; let stand a few minutes. Cut into 1-in. thick slices. Serves 6
