1 pkg (6-oz) stuffing mix for chicken
1 egg
2 green onions, finely chopped
1/2 cup shredded Italian cheese blend

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Mix the tomatoes and stuffing mix until combined; reserve half for later.

Add the ground beef and egg to the stuffing mix that remains; mix together well.  Press mixture onto the bottom of an 8-inch square baking dish.

Combine the reserved stuffing mixture with the onions and spread over the meat mixture. Cover pan with foil.

Bake at 375 degrees for 45 minutes; sprinkle the cheese over the top, /Continue baking, uncovered, for 10 minutes or until the meatloaf is cooked through.

This is a recipe I got from Kraft Foods last year.
