Italian Stuffed Meatloaf - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    2 lbs ground sirloin (I also added 1/3 lb ground turkey breast)
    1 large egg white
    1 cup tomato juice
    salt and pepper
    1 teaspoon garlic, minced
    1 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
    1 onion, chopped
    4 ounces mozzarella cheese (I used shredded Mozzarella) or 4 ounces provolone cheese (I used shredded Mozzarella)
    1/2 cup frozen spinach (I used chopped fresh)
    1/2 cup red pepper, roasted, jarred, chopped (I roasted my own fresh with olive oil spray 10 min at 425 degrees)
Preparation
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
    Combine in large bowl: sirloin/turkey, egg, tomato juice, salt and pepper, garlic, oregano, onion.
    Put 1/2 mixture in 9x5x3 loaf pan coated with cooking spray. (I could only find 11x5x3 sorry!).
    Layer on Cheese, Spinach, Peppers.
    Cover with remaining meat mixture.
    Bake for 1 hr, until meatloaf is done.
    cool to room temp, wrap, freeze up to 3 months.
    remove from freezer, thaw.
    bake at 350 degrees for abt 20-30 min until heated through.
    OR, slice and re heat in microwave.
    can top with a bit of spaghetti sauce if desired.
    comes with frozen italian green beans and/or ww pasta :).
