Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ cup onion diced
- ½ cup red bell pepper diced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 pound loose Italian pork sausage mild or spicy
- 2 tablespoons Italian seasoning
- ½ cup ricotta cheese
- ¼ cup Parmesan Cheese
- ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 cup marinara sauce
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- Add the olive oil to a large skillet on the stove over medium high heat.
- Add the onion and bell pepper, cook for 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for an additional minute.
- Add the cooked onion, bell pepper and garlic to a large bowl with the ground beef, Italian sausage, Italian seasoning, ricotta cheese, parmesan cheese and breadcrumbs, combine well.
- Press the mixture into a 9-inch by 5-inch loaf pan.
- Place in the oven and bake for 25 minutes.
- Remove the meatloaf from the oven and spread the marinara sauce over the meatloaf.
- Return to the oven and bake for an additional 25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F.
Notes
- To make this recipe gluten free, simply substitute gluten free breadcrumbs for the traditional breadcrumbs.
- I like to place the loaf pan on a baking sheet in the oven, just in case any grease or sauce bubbles over the loaf pan while baking.
- Don't have a loaf pan? No worries, you can free form the meatloaf into a loaf shape and cook it on a foil lined baking sheet.
- If serving the meatloaf with pasta on the side, be sure to boil the water and cook the pasta during the last 15 minutes of baking the meatloaf.
