List of Ingredients
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 tsp. dried rosemary, crushed
8 oz. Italian sausage or pork sausage links or ground beef
1 lb. ground beef
2 oz. provolone or mozzarella cheese, cubed
2 Tbsp. bottled pasta sauce with vegetables and/or herbs
2 Tbsp. shredded provolone or mozzarella cheese
Fresh rosemary springs (optional)
Recipe
Preheat oven to 350º. In a large bowl combine egg, bread crumbs, the 1/2
cup pasta sauce, garlic, and rosemary. Remoce 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, for 55 to 60 minutes until no pink remains or
until a thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the loaf registers
170º. Let stand for 10 minutes. Transfer to a platter. Drizzle top with
the 2 tablespoons pasta sauce. Sprinkle with the 2 tablespoons shredded
cheese. Garnish with fresh rosemary springs, if desired. Makes 6
servings.
To make ahead: If desired, meat loaf may be assembled ahead, covered,
and chilled up to 24 hours. Bake, uncovered, for 1 hour until no pink
remains or until a thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the loaf
registers 170º.
