Ingredients

• 2 pounds Ground beef (80/20 blend)
• 1.5 cups Prego marinara sauce
• 1 cup Breadcrumbs
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 medium Yellow onion, finely chopped
• 1.5 teaspoons Italian seasoning
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease a loaf pan.

Step 2

Heat olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until softened and fragrant. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, eggs, Parmesan cheese, sautéed onion and garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper, and parsley. Pour in 1/2 cup of the Prego marinara sauce and mix gently but thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated. Avoid overmixing to keep the meatloaf tender.

Step 4

Transfer the meat mixture to the prepared baking sheet or loaf pan. Shape into a loaf approximately 9 inches long and 4 inches wide, or press evenly into the loaf pan.

Step 5

Spread 1 cup of Prego marinara sauce evenly over the top of the meatloaf to create a flavorful glaze.

Step 6

Place in the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the meatloaf reads 160°F (71°C).

Step 7

Once cooked, remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This will help it hold together better when served.

Step 8

Slice and serve warm with additional Prego marinara sauce on the side, if desired. Enjoy with a side of mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or garlic bread for a complete meal.
