Low Fat Recipes - Italian Pinwheel Meat Loaf

Serving Size : 8

Ingredients --

2 eggs -- lightly beaten
3/4 cup seasoned bread crumbs
1/2 cup spaghetti sauce -- or ketchup
1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
1 clove garlic -- minced
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 pounds lean ground beef
16 slices part skim milk mozzarella cheese -- divided
4 ounces deli ham
Additional spaghetti sauce, warmed, optional

Preparation Method :

1. In a large bowl, combine the first nine ingredients. Crumble beef over mixture and mix well.

2. On a piece of heavy-duty foil, pat beef mixture into a 12-in. x 10-in. rectangle. Layer with six cheese slices, ham and six more cheese slices. Roll up jelly roll-style, starting with a short side and peeling foil away while rolling. Seal seam and ends. Place seam side down in a greased 13-in. x 9-in. x 2-in. baking dish.

3. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 70 minutes or until no pink remains and a meat thermometer reads 160°. Top with remaining cheese; bake 5 minutes longer or until cheese is melted. Let stand for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with additional spaghetti sauce if desired.
