2. Set aside about ¼ of the spag sauce to go on top of meat loaf.
3. Add all seasonings into the beaten eggs, then add remaining ingredients, meat last.
4. Mix with hands until well combined. It should not feel too wet or sloppy otherwise it won’t serve well, but not too stiff either or it will be dry and tough.
5. Use bread crumbs or more spag sauce to adjust.
6. Press into a medium loaf pan, spread remaining spag sauce on top and bake for about an hour or 1 ¼ hours
7. Will be cooked when juices are bubbling clear. Let completely cool before removing from pan.
