Italian Meatloaf

This is a bit higher calorie per serving recipe so this is more focused on maintenance phase VSGers or those that work out really intensly and can afford the little bit of extra calories per day...



2 pounds of ground beef ((I use the 86% lean anything more lean than that will make the meat too dry and the meatloaf fall apart, I learned that the hard way))
1 egg
1 onion chopped
1 ½ cup spaghetti sauce
½ cup bread crumbs
½ cup rolled oats
1 tsp Italian seasoning (or sprinkle in some basil and oregano)
garlic, salt and pepper to taste (I think I used about 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp pepper)
Mix all the ingredients together except only mix 1/2 cup spaghetti into the mixture

Place mixture into loaf shaped baking pan then top with the remaining 1 cup spaghetti sauce

Basically its a giant meatball when its all said and done but it was an amazing giant meatball!!!!

I served it to the family with garlic bread sticks and green beans
