Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds lean ground beef, about 85% lean
  • 3/4 cup quick oats
  • 1/4 cup minced onion
  • 1 teaspoon Italian herb blend
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for topping
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 1/2 cups marinara sauce or pizza sauce, divided use

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 F.
  • Combine the ground beef, oats, onion, herbs, garlic powder, 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Add the beaten eggs and 1/2 cup of marinara or pizza sauce. Mix well to blend and then pack the mixture into a 9-by-5-by-3-inch loaf pan or into 10 to 12 muffin cups.
  • Bake the meatloaf for about 1 1/4 hours, or until it reaches 165 F on an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center. For meatloaf muffins, check for temperature after about 30 to 40 minutes.
  • If desired, spread more marinara or pizza sauce over the top of the loaf or muffins and bake for about 5 minutes longer. Or heat extra marinara or pizza sauce and serve it along with the meatloaf.
  • Sprinkle with extra Parmesan just before serving
