    List of Ingredients




    Meatloaf:
    1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef
    3/4 cup soft bread crumbs
    1 egg
    1 teaspoon salt
    1/8 teaspoon pepper

    Filling
    1 package (10 ounces) frozen chopped spinach, defrosted, well drained
    1/2 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
    3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
    1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    1/8 teaspoon garlic powder

    Topping:
    3 tablespoons ketchup
    1/4 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
    Dried Italian seasoning (optional)

    Recipe



    Heat oven to 350F. In medium bowl, combine filling ingredients; mix well. Set aside. In large bowl, combine meatloaf ingredients, mixing lightly but thoroughly.

    Place beef mixture on waxed paper and pat into 14 x 10-inch rectangle. Spread filling over beef, leaving 3/4-inch border around edges. Starting at short end, roll up jelly-roll fashion. Press beef mixture over spinach filling at both ends to seal. Place seam side down on rack in open roasting pan.

    Bake in 350F oven 1 hour. Spread ketchup over loaf; return to oven and continue baking 15 minutes. Top loaf with 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese. Sprinkle with additional Italian seasoning, if desired.

    To serve, cut into 1-inch thick slices.

    Cook's Tip: To make soft bread crumbs, place torn bread slices in food processor, fitted with steel blade, or blender container. Cover; process 30 seconds, pulsing on and off, until fine crumbs. One and a half slices will yield 1 cup soft bread crumbs.

    Makes 6 servings (serving size: two 1-inch thick slices)
