Ingredients

1 egg, beaten
1/3 cup tomato juice
1 cup soft bread crumbs
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
3/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
1-1/2 pounds lean ground beef

I used cheddar cheese instead of mozzarella, and American cheese slices instead of mozzarella.

After making this meat loaf recipe several times, I decided to try another. My family asked after tasting my newest effort, "Where's the ham?" They want and expect Marilyn's Meat Loaf, so I don't dare to make another type when my boys are home.
