A comforting Italian meatloaf stuffed with mozzarella and served with marinara, perfect for family gatherings or weeknight dinners.

Scale

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, Italian sausage, onion, garlic, bread crumbs, eggs, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and parsley.
Add the milk, along with salt and pepper, and mix until everything is fully combined.
On a baking sheet, form the meat mixture into a rectangular loaf, approximately 9×12 inches in size.
Create a well in the center of the meatloaf and stuff it with mozzarella cheese, spinach (if using), and a spoonful of marinara sauce.
Carefully fold the meat around the filling, sealing the edges to form a complete loaf.
Spread the remaining marinara sauce on top of the meatloaf and sprinkle with the grated Parmesan cheese.
Bake for 45-55 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C).
Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing it up.
Serve with extra marinara sauce, if desired.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Can be frozen for longer storage.
