Ingredients
8 servings
- •⅔ cup Italian-seasoned panko (Japanese bread crumbs)
- •⅓ cup milk
- •1 egg
- •1 pound ground beef
- •1 (3.5 ounce) link Italian sausage, casing removed and chopped
- •1 medium onion, finely chopped
- •⅓ cup marinara sauce, divided
- •½ teaspoon garlic salt
- •4 (1 ounce) sticks string cheese
- •2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- •5 fluid ounces heavy whipping cream
- •2 cups finely shredded Parmesan cheese
- •1 pinch freshly grated nutmeg (Optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a loaf pan.
- Combine panko, milk, and egg in a small bowl and allow to soften, about 5 minutes.
- Combine ground beef, sausage, onion, 3 tablespoons marinara sauce, and garlic salt in a bowl. Add panko mixture and mix by hand until combined. Pat 1/2 of the mixture into the prepared pan. Lay 2 string cheese sticks side-by-side horizontally on top, leaving about 1/2 inch from the ends of the pan; stack remaining cheese sticks on top. Cover with remaining meat mixture.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes. Remove from the oven and cover with remaining marinara sauce. Bake for 20 minutes more.
- While meatloaf bakes, prepare Alfredo sauce. Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring with a wooden spoon, about 1 minute. Add heavy cream and stir until combined. Add Parmesan cheese and stir until blended. Season with nutmeg.
- Remove meatloaf from the oven and allow to rest for about 10 minutes. Pour Alfredo sauce down the middle of meatloaf. Slice and serve.
