I will make this recipe again. I didn't exaclty measure out the ingredients and I added carrots to the green beans but I don't think it changed anything all that much. Good flavor, quick prep (even for me who always takes 3xs as long as recipes say), and you probably have these ingredients on hand already. Great choice!

Ingredients

  • 1  egg, lightly beaten
  • 1  cup purchased pasta sauce
  • 1/2  cup fine dry bread crumbs
  • 1/4  cup fresh basil leaves, coarsely chopped if large
  • 1  lb. lean ground beef
  • 1  cup shredded mozzarella cheese (4 oz.)
  • 1  12-oz. pkg. fresh green beans, trimmed
  • 1  Tbsp. olive oil
  •   Crushed red pepper (optional)

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Bring a medium saucepan of salted water to boiling. In large bowl combine egg, 1/2 cup of the pasta sauce, bread crumbs, 2 tablespoons of the basil, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Add beef and 1/2 cup of the cheese; mix well. Divide beef mixture in four equal portions. Shape each portion in a 5-1/2x2-inch oval. Place on 15x10x1-inch baking pan. Spoon on remaining pasta sauce and sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake 15 minutes or until internal temperature registers 160 degrees F.

2. Meanwhile, cook green beans in boiling salted water for 10 minutes. Drain; toss with 1 tablespoon olive oil and red pepper. Serve with meat loaves. Sprinkle all with remaining basil leaves. Serves 4.

Great. I also did not top the loaf until the very end. My husband said it was one of the best meatloaves he has tasted. Into my file this recipe goes.
