Italian Style Meatloaf

My version of Italian style meatloaf isn’t served with ketchup it’s served with brown gravy, and the meatloaf itself is full of fresh veggies! Anyone who has ever had my meatloaf loves it (that or they are all lying to me)! No one ever seems to miss the ketchup!

Ingredients

1.5-2 lbs. lean ground beef
¼ cup Italian Style Bread Crumbs
1 egg
2 tablespoon Parmesan cheese
1 can Italian style diced tomatoes
¼ cup shredded zucchini
¼ cup diced onions
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon parsley ground black pepper, and salt.
2 packages Brown Gravy I don't waste my time making my own since the packets works great for this recipe!

Instructions

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
Shred the zucchini, dice the onions, mince the garlic.
Add to a large bowl.
Add 1 egg to the bowl and scramble, then add the ground beef, bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, and seasonings.
Add ½ of the can of tomatoes to the meat mixture (make sure the tomatoes you add are drained... no excess liquid needed for this part).
Mix well until all ingredients are incorporated.
Using a rectangular glass baking dish spray with pan, then move meat over to baking dish to form a loaf.
Once loaf is formed add the remaining can of tomatoes on the top of the loaf (juice is ok for this step).
Cover with tinfoil and bake for 45 minutes (or until internal temperature reads 165). I typically like to take the tin-foil off the last 10 minutes of baking so it can get a little crusty on top!
Cook gravy according to packet.
Once you pull the meat loaf out of the oven let it sit for a few minutes,
