You need

1 egg lightly beaten
1 cup pasta sauce

How to

Preheat oven to 450 Bring a saucepan of water to boiling. In a large bowl combine egg, 1/2 cup of pasta sauce,bread crumbs,2 tablespoons of the basil, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Add beef and 1/2 cup of the cheese;mix well. Divide beef mixture in four equal portions. Shape each portion in a 5 1/2x 2 inch oval. Place on a baking pan. Spoon on remaining pasta sauce and sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake 15 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 160
