I wanted to kick my meatloaf up a notch and this was the perfect way to do it! I wanted a way to make it healthier and tastier at the same time! Hope you like! I am serving this with it tonight: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/150475-garlicky-creamed-corn-spinach

2 lbs lean ground beef
2 egg whites
1 cup soft bread crumbs (I use aunt millie's light whole grain)
1 small onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp dried basil
1 1/2 tsp worcestershire sauce
3 oz fresh spinach (can use a 10 oz package of frozen too)
1 cup lowfat mozzarella cheese
1 cup crushed tomatoes no salt added

Preheat oven to 350.

Mix together ground beef, egg whites, bread crumbs, garlic, onion, oregano, basil, 1/2 cup tomatoes, and worcestershire sauce. On a sheet of wax paper spread mixture out about 12" x 8". Mix together the spinach and cheese. Spread over ground beef leaving about 1/2" on all sides. Starting with the 8" side, use the paper to help guide as you roll the ground beef. Make sure you are pressing gently as you roll to ensure a firm rolled meatloaf. Seal the outside edges and top with remaining tomatoes. Place seam side down on a roasting pan (I personally use a piece of foil just larger than the size of my loaf on a cooling rack and stick that on a baking pan to allow the juices to drip down) and bake for approximately 1 hour.

This makes 8 servings.

    This was great! I mixed the spinach and cheese into the meatloaf instead of stuffing it in the middle of the loaf. I also used half wheat germ and half bread crumbs. Turned out very good!!
