Step 1
Preheat oven to 375°F. In a large bowl, combine 1.5 lb ground beef, 0.5 cup breadcrumbs, 1 egg, 0.5 finely chopped onion, and 0.5 cup tomato sauce. Mix until just combined.
Step 2
Shape the mixture into a loaf and place in a 9x5 inch loaf pan. Bake for 35-40 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 160°F and the top is browned.
Step 3
Meanwhile, cook 8 oz egg noodles according to package directions until al dente, about 7-8 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Step 4
After the meatloaf is cooked, spread the remaining 1 cup tomato sauce over the top and sprinkle with 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese.
Step 5
Return to the oven and bake for 5-7 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Step 6
Serve the meatloaf slices over the cooked noodles, garnished with 2 tbsp chopped parsley.
