Time 1h45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

1 tablespoon olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 medium yellow onion, minced
1 red bell pepper, minced
Pinch crushed red pepper, optional
2 pounds ground beef (I use 80/20)
1 cup grated Parmesan
3/4 cup breadcrumbs
1/4 cup minced fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon garlic salt
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
16 fresh basil leaves, chopped
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup marinara sauce
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
6 soft sub rolls, split
Garlic salt, as needed
1 cup marinara sauce
1 pound sliced mozzarella

Steps:

  • For the meatloaf: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic, onion, bell pepper and crushed red pepper if using and saute until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes. Set aside to cool.
  • In a large bowl, combine the beef, Parmesan, breadcrumbs, parsley, Worcestershire sauce, garlic salt, kosher salt, pepper, basil, eggs, 1/2 cup of the marinara and the cooled vegetables. Use your hands to mix everything together. Transfer the mixture to the center of the prepared baking sheet and form into a loaf. Coat the meat loaf with the remaining 1/2 cup marinara.
  • Bake until the meat loaf is firm, 45 minutes to 1 hour (depending on the shape of your loaf). Let set for about 5 minutes before slicing.
  • For the sandwiches: Butter the rolls and then sprinkle with garlic salt. Transfer to a baking sheet and bake until light golden and toasted, about 5 minutes.
  • Add a slice of meatloaf to each toasted roll and top with some of the marinara and 3 slices mozzarella. Return to the oven and bake until the cheese is melted, 8 to 10 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right ground meat: A combination of ground beef and ground pork is the traditional choice for Italian-style meatloaf, but you can also use all beef or all pork. If you're using a leaner meat, you may want to add some extra fat, such as olive oil or butter, to keep the meatloaf moist.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the meatloaf will be. Look for fresh, ripe vegetables and herbs, and use high-quality cheese and bread crumbs.
  • Season the meatloaf well: Don't be afraid to use plenty of seasonings in your meatloaf. Italian herbs such as oregano, basil, and thyme are a must, and you can also add garlic, onion, and Parmesan cheese. You should also season the meatloaf with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Mix the meatloaf gently: Overmixing the meatloaf can make it tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined, and then shape the meatloaf into a loaf.
  • Cook the meatloaf at a low temperature: Cooking the meatloaf at a low temperature will help to keep it moist and prevent it from drying out. Cook the meatloaf in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 1 hour, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the center of the meatloaf reads 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the meatloaf rest before slicing: Once the meatloaf is cooked, let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This will help the meatloaf to stay together and prevent it from falling apart.

Conclusion:

Italian-style meatloaf is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. With its combination of savory Italian flavors and moist, tender texture, this meatloaf is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a hearty and satisfying meal, give this Italian-style meatloaf a try. You won't be disappointed!
