Per request, here is the meatloaf recipe my daughter fixed the other night:

CHEESE-STUFFED MEATLOAF

Makes 6 servings

1-1/2 lbs ground beef

1 jar (26-28 oz) Ragu Chunky Garden Style Pasta Sauce

1 large egg, slightly beaten

1/4 cup plain bread crumbs

2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (about 8 oz)

1TBSP finely chopped fresh parsley

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. 

In large bowl, combine ground beef, 1/3 cup Ragu pasta sauce, egg, and bread crumbs.  Season, if desired, with salt and ground black pepper. 

In a 13 x 9-inch baking or roasting pan, shape into a 12 x 8 inch rectangle.  Sprinkle 1-1/2 cups cheese and parsley down the center, leaving a 3/4-inch border.  Roll, starting at long end, jelly roll style.  Press ends together to seal.

Bake uncovered 45 minutes.  Then pour remaining sauce over meatloaf and sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup cheese.  Bake an additional 15 minutes or until sauce is heated through and cheese is melted.  Let stand 5 minutes before serving.

It is very good... If you try it out, let me know how you like it.

Wow, that sounds yummy!

And FWIW, I didn't know how to cook anything when I left home. I told my mom, "I know how to read, and that's what cookbooks are for." Worked for me! :)

I know this recipe--because I have made it many, many times myself. It is actually from a book called "4 ingredient cookbook" that has a spiral spine.
I do appreciate the recipe, as I am without book at the moment.
But wouldn't it be prudent of you, if you did get the recipe from there, to give some citation. Otherwise it's just plain plagiarism.
