Cheesy Italian Meatloaf Food

CHEESE STUFFED ITALIAN MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a large bowl, stir together the egg, breadcrumbs (I whir herbed dry stuffing mix in my food processor to make these), garlic, and 1/2 cup pasta sauce until well-mixed.
• Add remaining ingredients (except the garnish), and mix together well (I do the whole thing in my sturdy KitchenAid mixer, which works quite well).
• Put into a large loaf pan, top/garnish with additional pasta sauce (I like a*lot* of sauce and so use about a half-cup, but three or four tablespoons would do, too), and bake at 350 degrees F for 1 hour.
• Serve with rice, spaghetti, or scalloped potatoes.

CHEESY ITALIAN MEATLOAF RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350ºF. and prepare 9x5 loaf pan by lining it with foil and spraying the foil with nonstick cooking spray.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine all ingredients, except 1/2 of the tomato sauce and the mozzarella.
• After ingredients are combined, transfer the meatloaf mixture to a flat surface, covered with parchment or wax paper. Shape the meatloaf into an oval or square and sprinkle most of the mozzarella over the middle of the meatloaf. Save about 1/4 cup of the mozzarella for the topping. Next, roll the meatloaf up and place it in the loaf pan. Use your fingers or the back of a spoon to press the meatloaf down so that it is all even at the top. Pour the reserved 1/2 of tomato sauce over the top and spread out evenly.
• Bake for 1 hour. Once cooked, remove from oven and sprinkle additional mozzarella cheese over the top. Bake for about 10-15 minutes more.
• Allow meatloaf to cool for about 10 minutes and then cut loaf into 8 even slices. Enjoy with a side salad or another favorite side dish!

• If you freeze it (raw), double wrap in foil.
• To make in crockpot (which I have not done yet)--put 3 heavy duty foil strips, each measuring 18 X 3 inches in a crisscross so they resemble spokes of a wheel in crock pot. Place meatloaf in the center of the strips. Pull the foil strips up and over the meatloaf. Cover. Use the foil as handles to lift out. Estimating time at 8 hours on LOW or 4 hours on HIGH. Also, read that you can cut up two potatoes, into finger size pieces and put that underneath the meatloaf in crock pot. Ummm.
