Italian Meatloaf

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes
• 1 cup hot water
• Cooking spray
• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 cup seasoned bread crumbs
• 3/4 cup finely chopped onion
• 3/4 cup chopped fresh basil
• 1/2 cup ketchup
• 2 ounces shredded sharp provolone cheese
• 2 egg whites
• 2 cloves garlic, chopped

Directions

Put tomatoes in a bowl. Pour hot water over tomatoes and soak until softened, about 30 minutes; drain.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Prepare a loaf pan with cooking spray.

Mix drained tomatoes, ground beef, bread crumbs, onion, basil, ketchup, provolone cheese, egg whites, and garlic together in a bowl; pack into prepared loaf pan.

Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
