Firehouse Meatloaf
List of Ingredients
1 egg, beaten
1 cup soft bread crumbs
1/2 cup bottled pasta sauce
1-2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
8 ounces sweet Italian sausage or pork sausage links or ground beef
1 pound ground beef
2 ounces provolone or mozzarella cheese, cubed
2 tablespoons pasta sauce
2 tablespoons shredded provolone or mozzarella cheeseRecipe
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 2/3 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 the indentation. Pat remaining meat mixture evenly over top.
Bake, uncovered, in a 350 degree oven for 55 to 60 minutes until no pink remains and until a thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the loaf registers 170 degrees. Let stand for 10 minutes.
To serve, transfer meatloaf 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.
