Italian Meatloaf Recipe

  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes
  • 1 cup hot water
  • cooking spray
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 cup seasoned bread crumbs
  • 3/4 cup finely chopped onion
  • 3/4 cup chopped fresh basil
  • 1/2 cup ketchup
  • 2 ounces shredded sharp provolone cheese
  • 2 egg whites
  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped
  1. Put tomatoes in a bowl. Pour hot water over tomatoes and soak until softened, about 30 minutes; drain.
  2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Prepare a loaf pan with cooking spray.
  3. Mix drained tomatoes, ground beef, bread crumbs, onion, basil, ketchup, provolone cheese, egg whites, and garlic together in a bowl; pack into prepared loaf pan.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
