Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Ground beef
- 0.5 pounds Italian sausage
- 1 cups Breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cups Grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 cups Milk
- 2 Large eggs
- 2 cloves Minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoons Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoons Dried basil
- 1 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 1.5 cups Marinara sauce
- 1 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easier cleanup.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, Italian sausage, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, milk, eggs, garlic, parsley, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Mix gently with your hands or a spoon until all ingredients are fully incorporated, being careful not to overwork the mixture.
Transfer the meat mixture into the prepared loaf pan, pressing it evenly to form a loaf shape.
Spread 1/2 cup of marinara sauce evenly over the top of the meatloaf.
Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50 minutes.
Remove the meatloaf from the oven and spread the remaining marinara sauce over the top. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce.
Return the meatloaf to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the internal temperature of the meatloaf reaches 160°F (71°C).
Allow the meatloaf to rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy with a side of roasted vegetables or a simple green salad.
