MICRO ITALIAN MEATLOAF 
1 1/2 lbs. ground beef
1 (8 oz.) can tomato sauce
1 tsp. oregano
1 1/2 c. shredded Mozzarella cheese
1/2 c. dry bread crumbs
1 egg
1 tsp. salt
2 tbsp. Parmesan cheese
Pepper to taste

Mix together beef, bread crumbs, 1/2 of tomato sauce, egg, 1/2 teaspoon oregano, salt and pepper. On waxed paper, pat into rectangles 1/2" thick. Sprinkle with Mozzarella cheese. Roll up by starting with short side, lifting paper to keep it free. Seal all edges and place in glass loaf pan. Microwave on high for 9 minutes, rotating dish after 1/2 cooking time. Reduce power to medium power and cook 11 to 14 minutes, roating dish after 1/2 of cooking time. (Meatloaf loses its pink color when cooked.) Drain. Combine remaining tomato sauce and oregano. Pour over meatloaf. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Microwave 2 minutes to heat sauces. Tent with foil and let stand 5 minutes before serving.

Since microwave ovens vary in power, you may need to adjust your cooking time.
