Chicken Parmesan Meatloaf

By popular demand, here is the recipe, thanks to http://www.sixsistersstuff.com/2011/12/fresh-food-friday-20-tried-and-true.html, and, more specifically http://joelens.blogspot.com/2010/06/chicken-parmesan-meatloaf.html. It was AWESOME!

Chicken Parmesan Meatloaf

1 lb ground chicken (or ground turkey)
1 egg
1/4 cup breadcrumbs
1/2 tsp dried basil
1/2 tsp dried thyme
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1-2 cloves of garlic, minced
1 small onion (or dried onion)
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup pasta sauce
1/2 cup shredded Italian cheese blend

Mix chicken, egg, breadcrumbs, basil, thyme, oregano, garlic, onion, salt, pepper, and Parmesan in a large bowl with your hands. Place the mixture in a greased loaf pan. Top with pasta sauce.

At this point, I froze the meatloaf, and thawed it the night before we were going to cook it.

To cook, preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Bake 40-45 minutes or until cooked. Top with shredded Italian cheese and bake for another 5-10 minutes or until the cheese is melted.  Remove from the oven and allow to rest 5-10 minutes before serving.
