    Firehouse Meat Loaf


    1 egg, beaten
    1 cup soft bread crumbs
    1/2 cup bottled pasta sauce with vegetables and/or herbs
    1 to 2 cloves garlic, minced
    1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
    8 ounces Italian sausage, pork sausage links, or ground beef

    1 pound ground beef
    2 ounces provolone or mozzarella cheese, cubed
    2 tablespoons bottled pasta sauce with vegetables and/or herbs
    2 tablespoons shredded provolone or mozzarella cheese

    Recipe




    In a large bowl combine egg, bread crumbs, the 1/2 cup pasta sauce, garlic, and rosemary.

    Remove casings from sausage, if using.

    Add ground beef and sausage; mix well.

    Press two-thirds of the mixture evenly in the bottom of an 8x4x2-inch loaf pan.

    Make a 1/2-inch indentation down the center of the meat mixture.

    Place the cheese cubes in indentation.

    Pat remaining meat mixture evenly over top.

    Bake, uncovered, in a 350 degree F oven for 55 to 60 minutes until no pink remains and until a thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the loaf registers 170 degree F.

    Let stand for 10 minutes.

    To serve, transfer meat loaf to a platter.

    Drizzle top with the 2 tablespoons pasta sauce.

    Sprinkle with the 2 tablespoons shredded cheese.

    If desired, garnish with fresh rosemary sprigs.

    Makes 6 servings.
