Cooking Time: 1 hour & 20 minutes
Servings: 8
Ingredients
1 cup carrots, shredded
1 ½ pounds extra-lean ground beef
1 package spinach, frozen, chopped, thawed & drained (10-ounce)
2 teaspoons vegetable or canola oil
1 cup garlic & herb pasta sauce, roasted, divided
8 ounces fresh pork sausage
1 teaspoon garlic, minced
½ cup regular oats, uncooked
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon pepper
Additional garlic & herb pasta sauce, roasted
1 ¼ teaspoons salt
1 egg, large, beaten lightly
Vegetable cooking spray
1 onion, medium, chopped
Directions
1-Over medium-high heat settings in a nonstick skillet, preferably large size; sauté garlic & onion for couple of minutes. Add in the carrots & sauté until onion is tender, for 3 to 4 more minutes; let cool slightly at room temperature.
2-Combine the onion mixture, with beef, ½ cup of pasta sauce, Italian seasoning, pork sausage, regular oats, spinach, lightly beaten egg, salt & pepper in a bowl, preferably large size until well blended. Shape the mixture into a loaf pan, preferably 10x5”. Place the loaf pan on the coated rack; place the rack in the broiler pan coated with the cooking spray.
3- Bake for 45 minutes, preferably at 350 F/175 C. Spread the leftover ½ cup of the pasta sauce on top of the loaf & bake until a thermometer reflects the internal temperature 155 F, when inserted into the thickest portion, for 10 to 15 minutes longer. Loosely cover it with the aluminum foil & let stand for 8 to 10 minutes, preferably at room temperature. If desired, feel free to serve it with more of the pasta sauce.
