Pizza-Style Meat Loaf

So this was pretty good. It had that "hot" that pizza has. It looked pretty easy to make. Will have again. We had with salad.

We assembled it differently.

Pizza-Style Meat Loaf
Yield: 6 servings (serving size: 1 slice)

Ingredients
2/3 cup pizza sauce, divided (used Bertoli Marinara)
1 1/2 pounds extra-lean ground round
3/4 cup Italian-seasoned breadcrumbs
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon ground red pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 large egg white
2 (1-ounce) slices part-skim mozzarella cheese (used 2 oz of shredded)
1/2 cup diced red bell pepper (used green pepper)
Cooking spray

Preparation
Preheat oven to 350°.

Combine 1/3 cup sauce, meat, and next 8 ingredients (sauce through egg white) in a bowl (we added the green pepper). Shape meat mixture into an 18 x 12-inch rectangle on wax paper. Arrange cheese slices over meat mixture; sprinkle with red bell pepper, leaving a 1-inch border. Roll meat mixture up jelly-roll fashion starting at short side (we put half in a meatloaf pan, put cheese in the middle and put the other half of the mixture in). Pinch ends to seal.

Place meat loaf on a broiler pan coated with cooking spray. Bake at 350° for 1 hour or until meat loaf registers 160°. Brush 1/3 cup pizza sauce over meat loaf. Bake an additional 5 minutes or until done; let stand 10 minutes before slicing.
