KEY INGREDIENTS

- Ground Beef - Ground Sausage - Onion - Breadcrumbs - Egg - Parsley - Garlic - Tomato Sauce - Mozzarella  - Pesto Sauce - Ketchup

Preheat oven to 350°. Add all meatloaf ingredients to a large bowl, except for the mozzarella and the pesto. Mix by hand until all ingredients are combined.

MIX

Divide the mixture into two and place half onto a foil-lined baking sheet. Pat the meat mixture until it's in a 9x5 inch rectangle shape. Make the outside edges slightly raised and the middle lightly depressed to make room for the cheese and pesto.

FORM

Place the mozzarella slices down the center of the meat, making sure none of it reaches the outside 1/2". Pour pesto sauce over cheese.  Add the remaining half of the meat mixture to the top and form it into a log shape. Ensure the edges are completely sealed so no cheese can escape.

MEATLOAF

Mix together glaze ingredients and spread half of it over the meatloaf.  Cover the pan with foil and bake for 40-45 minutes. Remove the foil and spread the remaining glaze over the meatloaf. Return it to the oven for an additional 15-20 minutes.  Let the meatloaf rest for 20 minutes before slicing and serve with a sprinkle of fresh parsley. Enjoy!
