Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lb ground beef
- 1 egg
- 3/4 c. saltine crackers crushed
- 1/2 c. onion chopped
- 2 cans tomato sauce 8 oz each
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/8 tsp black pepper ground
- 1/2 tsp oregano dried
- 2 c. mozzarella cheese shredded
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- In a large mixing bowl combine all ingredients EXCEPT cheese and 1 can tomato sauce. Shape mixture into a 10'' x 12'' rectangle on a piece of wax paper. Sprinkle 1 1/34 c. cheese over the meat.
- Roll up the meat, beginning on the long side of the rectangle and pulling back the wax paper as you go. Press ends to seal. Place on large baking sheet.
- Bake for 1 hour. Drain off grease. Pour remaining tomato sauce over loaf and sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake 15 more minutes or until cheese is melted.
Notes
- For the saltines, you can crush them in a food processor to make it really easy or place them in a bag and crush them with a rolling pin or kitchen mallet.
- When I bake it, it usually takes an hour at 350. How long to bake a meatloaf really depends on your oven so be sure to check on it. The easiest way to know when it’s done, is to check the internal temperature with a meat thermometer. It should be 160 to 165°F in the center.
- If you don’t have a thermometer you can cut into the center to check. It shouldn’t be pink once it’s cooked all the way through.
- Let the meatloaf rest for five minutes or so before slicing it. This will allow the juices to redistribute.
- The leftovers will keep for three to four days in the refrigerator.
