Italian Meatloaf
Recipes » Main Dish » Meatloaf
Not your plain ol' meatloaf, but still traditional enough for the purists. This one is sure to please everyone in your family.
"I cooked this for my family and it was fantastic. I had to add a little bit more bread crumb to make it a little more solid and sprinkled a litte itialian bread crumb on top after cooking. I will be making this on a reagular basis. Everyone loved it. Thanks to the poster." - KjcoganYield: 4 Ready in 45 minutes

Notes Italian Meatloaf Preparation
Preheat oven to 350 degrees (F). Lightly oil a 9- x 5-inch loaf pan. If using a silicone pan, place on a sturdy baking sheet.
In a large bowl, combine beef, sausage, onion, bell pepper, garlic, bread crumbs, optional wine, egg, Worcestershire, parsley, basil, oregano, salt, pepper, Parmesan and 1/2 cup each tomato sauce and mozzarella. Spoon into prepared pan and gently pack down. Bake 45 minutes. Pour off drippings.
Spread remaining tomato sauce on top of the loaf and sprinkle with remaining 1 cup mozzarella. Bake until an internal temperature reaches 160 degrees on an instant read thermometer. The cheese should be melted and the sauce should be bubbling. Let stand 10 minutes, pour off drippings, and remove from pan before slicing.
Notes
Everyone enjoyed this, but most importantly, my son (who was not previously a meatloaf fan) gave this one 5 stars and told me that when I make meatloaf again, it should be this one. So that alone earns five stars in my book :o)

This recipe was okay, it was a nice change but I probably will not make it again. My family had too many mixed feelings about it.

My husband and son both said this was the best meatloaf they have ever had. I was out of tomato sauce and used jar mushroom spaghetti sauce instead. Delicious!

I absolutely hate meatloaf but this was amazing! I does taste like pizza and using tomato sauce made all the difference. I'll definitely be making this again.

Only meatloaf I ever made but the BEST meatloaf ever! Try pulling it out of oven a few minutes early and let the internal rise while it sits out so that you don't overcook. It was PERFECT!

Whoever came up with this one should get a medal!! Best meatloaf I've had by far. Wasn't much left when wife and I finished this meal. I made penne pasta in a basil and tomato sauce to go with it, along with Brusetta......Excellant.
