Italian Meatloaf
Directions
- 1Start by adding 2 pounds of ground beef pork blend to a large mixing bowl.
- 2Add 2/3 cups of panko breadcrumbs and a half a cup of whole milk, then set aside to soak.
- 3Add two whole eggs, a half a cup of Parmesan cheese, a quarter cup of chopped Italian parsley, a tablespoon of dried oregano, two teaspoons of salt, a teaspoon of black pepper, a half of a diced onion, and two to three minced garlic cloves (sautéed first).
- 4Bring the soaked panko breadcrumbs back in.
- 5Using hand mixers, mix all ingredients together until you have a big ball of meat.
- 6Throw the meat mixture onto a baking sheet and form it into a loaf (or two smaller loaves).
- 7Place slices of old bread under the meatloaf to absorb grease.
- 8Bake in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 30 minutes.
- 9After the first 30 minutes, take them out and cover them with your favorite marinara sauce.
- 10Return to the oven for about 20 minutes or until almost done.
- 11When it comes out this time, cover them with shredded mozzarella cheese.
- 12Throw them back in the oven until the cheese is melted and the meatloaf is fully cooked.
- 13Serve over a bed of spaghetti marinara and sprinkle with a little bit of Parmesan.
- 14If you have fresh chopped basil, add a little bit of that too.
