By srumbel

Ingredients

• 1 package Stove Top Stuffing mix for Chicken
• 1 jar (24 ounces) spaghetti sauce, divided
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano leaves, divided
• 2 tablespoon Italian parsley
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 1 pound ground beef
• 2 cups zucchini, chopped
• 3/4 cups Mozzarella cheese

Preparation

Step 1

Instructions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
In a large bowl, add stuffing mix with half of the spaghetti sauce, garlic, ½ teaspoon oregano, parsley and pepper; mix well. Add meat and mix to incorporate all ingredients (I usually use my hand to make sure everything is incorporated).
Place meat in a 9x13 baking dish.
Add zucchini, remaining spaghetti sauce, ½ teaspoon oregano to a bowl and mix to combine. Spoon over meat mixture and cover with foil.
Bake for 25-30 minutes. Remove foil and top with cheese. Bake for another 10 minutes uncovered. Meatloaf should be 160 degrees F with cheese bubbly and melted.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
