Ingredients

2 eggs
1 cup milk
1 cup crushed butter-flavored crackers (about 25 crackers)
1 medium onion, chopped
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1-1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon minced fresh oregano or 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
2 pounds ground beef
1 cup pizza sauce
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
Sliced fresh mushrooms and green pepper, optional

Directions

In a bowl, combine the first seven ingredients. Crumble beef over mixture and mix well. Pat into a greased 8-in. square baking pan.
Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 50 minutes or until the meat is no longer pink and a meat thermometer reads 160°; drain.
Spread pizza sauce over top. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese. Bake 10 minutes longer or until the cheese is melted.
Meanwhile, if desired, saute mushrooms and green pepper in a skillet. Using two large spatulas, carefully transfer meat loaf to a serving platter. Top with the mushrooms and green pepper. Yield: 8 servings.
