How to Make Italian Stuffed Meatloaf

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large bowl, gently combine 1.5 lbs ground sirloin, 0.5 lbs ground turkey, 1 large egg, 1/2 cup tomato juice, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 tbsp dried oregano, and 1/2 cup finely chopped onion.
Spray a 9x5x3 inch loaf pan with cooking spray. Place half of the meat mixture into the prepared pan.
Layer 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, 1 cup chopped fresh spinach, and 1/2 cup roasted red peppers over the meat mixture.
Top with the remaining meat mixture, ensuring it's evenly distributed.
Bake for 60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
Let the meatloaf cool completely to room temperature before wrapping tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil.
Freeze for up to 3 months. To thaw, refrigerate overnight.
Reheat frozen meatloaf in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 20-30 minutes, or until heated through.
Alternatively, slice and reheat individual portions in the microwave.
Optional: Top with a dollop of your favorite spaghetti sauce before serving.
Serve with frozen Italian green beans and/or whole wheat pasta.
