Directions:

  6. Meanwhile, prepare the tomato topping by chopping tomatoes, onion, and garlic. Combine in a bowl with Italian seasoning, parsley, and salt to taste.
  7. Cook the tomato mixture in a skillet with olive oil until softened.
  8. Once the meatloaf is fully cooked, allow it to rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve with the cooked tomato topping spooned generously over the top.
