One of our favorite ways to change up this recipe is to use different styles of pasta sauce. Garden Vegetable, Spicy Marinara, and Tomato Basil come to mind. (We also like to finish each one with a dusting of fresh grated Parmigiano Reggiano.)

Individual Italian Meat Loaves

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  Spray baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray; set aside.

Combine 1/4 cup pasta sauce with remaining ingredients until well-mixed. 

Divide mixture into 4 portions and shape into loaves 5-by-3-inches.  Place on prepared pan and bake for 15 minutes.  

Spread remaining pasta sauce evenly over each loaf and bake an additional 5 to 10 minutes longer, or until internal temperature reaches 160 degrees.
