Spinach & Cheese Stuffed Meatloaf

Ingredients:

Loaf:

1.5 lbs. ground beef (or turkey)

3/4 c. bread crumbs

1 egg

1 tsp. salt

1/8 tsp. pepper

1/8 tsp. garlic powder

1/8 tsp. Italian seasoning

Filling:

1 (10 oz.) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed & drained well

1 cup shredded low fat cheese of your choice

3 TBS grated Parmesan cheese

1 tsp. Italian seasoning

1/8 garlic powder

Topping:

1/4 cup Ketchup

1/2 cup shredded low fat cheese

Directions:

In a large bowl, lightly combine meatloaf ingredients.

On a waxed paper, pat into a 14 x 10 inch rectangle.

In a medium sized bowl, combine filling ingredients. Spread over rectangle, leaving about an inch around all edges. Starting with a short end, roll up jelly roll style. Press meat over filling at both ends to seal. Place loaf, seam side down, in a baking dish.

Bake uncovered at 350° for one hour. Spread with ketchup and sprinkle with cheese. Cook 15 minutes longer, or until cheese is melted. Let stand 5 minutes. Cut into 1 inch thick slices.

Makes 6 servings.
