Preheat oven to 350°F. Mix meatloaf ingredients together (use your hands, it's easier). Dump meat mixture into a baking dish and pat into shape and size to fit your bread. Bake for 20 minutes, remove from oven & cover with 1/2 cup pasta sauce. Return to oven & bake 20 minutes more. Cut bread into thick slices -3/4-inch or so. Slather with pesto. Slice hot meatloaf into 1/2-inch slices. (tricky but you can do it!) Place a slice on top of pesto. Mix 1/2 cup pasta sauce with cheese & spread on top of meatloaf. Put sandwiches under the broiler till bubbly & hot & bread is crispy on the edges. Serve with the rest of the sauce, heated in the microwave for 30 seconds. You will need a knife & fork! * If you really want to go for the gusto, top sandwich with a slice of mozzarella or your favorite cheese before broiling. Cooks note: As written, the number of servings is just a guess. Depends on the hollowness of the diners' legs. ;-).
