In a large bowl, combine the beef, onion, 1/2 of the tomato sauce, bread crumbs, egg, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon oregano, salt, and pepper. Press the mixture into a 1/2-inch-thick rectangle on a sheet of waxed paper. Scatter the mozzarella cheese over the top.

Lift the short side of the waxed paper to begin rolling the meatloaf. Roll it tightly, peeling back the paper as you go. Pinch the edges to seal. Move the meatloaf to a loaf pan.

Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour. Stir together the remaining tomato sauce and 1/2 teaspoon oregano; pour it over the meatloaf and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Continue baking until the cheese melts, about 15 minutes more. Let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.

How easyChef Pro Scores This Recipe
easyChef Pro gives every recipe a health score from 0 to 100, built from more than 30 nutritional parameters including nutrient density, energy density and glycemic impact. It calculates rather than estimates, so the same recipe returns the same score every time.
The number is traceable. You can see exactly which nutrient moved it, so a dish scoring 78 might show fiber pushing it up while sodium pulls it down, alongside the NOVA processing level of each ingredient.
Your health goal changes the calculation itself, not just a filter. easyChef Pro applies clinically derived weighting across six health dimensions, which is why the same dish can score well for one goal and poorly for another.
Swap an ingredient or change the serving size and that math changes with it. Scoring your own version is the only way to see what your kitchen actually produces.
