Meatloaf
1-1/2 lbs. ground beef

1 tsp. oregano
1 1/2 c. shredded Mozzarella cheese
1/2 c. dry bread crumbs
1 egg
1 tsp. salt
2 tbsp. Parmesan cheese
Pepper to taste
Mix together beef, bread crumbs, 1/2 of tomato sauce, egg, 1/2 teaspoon
oregano, salt and pepper. On waxed paper, pat into rectangles 1/2" thick.
Sprinkle with Mozzarella cheese. Roll up by starting with short side,

Microwave on high for 9 minutes, rotating dish after 1/2 cooking time.
Reduce power to medium power and cook 11 to 14 minutes, roating dish after
