Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds Ground beef (80/20)
• 0.5 pounds Ground pork
• 1 cup Breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 0.25 cup Milk
• 2 large Eggs
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 cups Marinara sauce
• 2 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil (for greasing the pan)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with olive oil or non-stick cooking spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, milk, eggs, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Using clean hands or a spoon, mix the ingredients until fully combined, but do not overmix to prevent the meatloaf from becoming tough.

Step 4

Transfer the meat mixture into the prepared loaf pan, pressing it down gently to fit evenly.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes. Remove the meatloaf from the oven and carefully drain any excess grease from the pan if necessary.

Step 6

Spread 1 1/2 cups of marinara sauce evenly over the top of the meatloaf, then sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese across the top.

Step 7

Return the meatloaf to the oven and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the internal temperature of the meatloaf reaches 160°F (71°C).

Step 8

Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, and serve with additional marinara sauce on the side.
