Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the lasagna noodles and cook until al dente. Drain and toss with olive oil, to keep them from sticking, and let cool.
- Meanwhile, make the tomato sauce. Heat the oil, sliced garlic, red pepper flakes and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir as the oil heats up; once it shimmers, add the crushed tomatoes, 3/4 cup water and the basil. Bring to a high simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly and the water has evaporated, 15 to 20 minutes (will be about 1 cup). Remove from the heat and let cool to room temperature.
- Arrange the bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium heat until brown and crispy, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Remove and finely chop when cool enough to handle.
- Combine the bacon, beef, pork, breadcrumbs, onion, parsley, grated garlic, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, eggs, 1 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper in a large bowl. Use your hands to thoroughly combine.
- Adjust an oven rack to the middle position and preheat to 350 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and brush with oil. Combine the mozzarella and Parmesan.
- Shape half of the meatloaf mixture into a 9- by 5-inch rectangle in the center of the prepared baking sheet. Make a slight indentation down the center and fill with 1/2 cup of the cheese mixture. Top with the remaining meatloaf mixture and pat to form a loaf with a slightly rounded top, making sure to pinch and seal the sides.
- Top the meatloaf with one-third of the sauce and sprinkle with one-third of the remaining cheese mixture. Lay 4 lasagna noodles, crosswise and slightly overlapping, over the meatloaf, completely covering. Top with another one-third each of sauce and cheese mixture. Repeat with the remaining noodles, sauce and cheese.
- Bake until the meatloaf reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F, 40 to 45 minutes. Sprinkle with parsley and let cool slightly. Slice and serve with dollops of ricotta.

Steps:
- Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Fill a large pot with lightly-salted water and bring to a rolling boil; stir in the shell pasta and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has nearly cooked through but still very firm to the bite, about 5 minutes. Drain well and rinse with cold water.
- While the shells are cooking, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat; cook and stir the beef and onion in the hot skillet until the beef is crumbly, evenly browned, and no longer pink. Drain and discard any excess grease; stir in the tomato paste, tomato sauce, salt, oregano, and garlic powder. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes. Spread half of the sauce into a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- Beat the eggs in a mixing bowl. Stir in the cottage cheese, 3/4 of the mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, parsley, salt, and pepper. Spoon the cheese mixture into the shells and set them into the prepared baking dish. Once all the shells have been filled, pour the remaining meat sauce over the shells and sprinkle with the remaining mozzarella cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the shells are hot in the center and the mozzarella cheese is melted and bubbly, 25 to 30 minutes.

LASAGNA STUFFED MEATLOAF

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Combine the Certified Angus Beef® brand lean, ground beef with the next seven ingredients (eggs through black pepper). Using your hands, mix until combined.
- Line a loaf pan with plastic wrap using two pieces; one lining it on the short side and one lining it on the long side (the two pieces will form a cross). Press 2/3 of the meat mixture into the loaf pan. You will want an even amount of ground beef around the bottom, edges, and side of the pan. Set aside.
- In a small bowl combine the ricotta cheese with 1/4 cup of the pizza sauce.
- Cutting the noodles to size with your kitchen shears, place one layer of noodles in the bottom of the pan on top of the meat mixture. Spread half of the ricotta mixture on top of the noodles. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese. Place a layer of noodles on top of the ricotta mixture, spread with the remaining ricotta mixture, and sprinkle with another 1/4 cup of mozzarella cheese before placing the last layer of noodles on top.
- On a piece of plastic wrap, press the remaining meatloaf mixture out in a rectangle large enough to cover the meatloaf in the pan. Press the edges of the meatloaf on top to the meatloaf on the sides of the pan to seal in the lasagna filling.
- Cover a roasting pan with a wire rack with aluminum foil (I cut slits in the foil on the rack to allow the juice to escape and not steam the meatloaf). Place the rack on top of the loaf pan and carefully invert the loaf pan (flip it over). Remove the plastic wrap from the meatloaf.
- Baste the meatloaf with half of the remaining sauce. Bake at 350 for 50 minutes. Insert a meat thermometer horizontally into the top of the meatloaf making sure to insert the thermometer into the meat and not the lasagna filling. Cook the meatloaf until it reaches 145F.
- Remove from the oven, baste with remaining sauce and top with remaining cheese. Bake until the thermometer reaches 155F before removing from the oven and resting at least 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Steps:

- 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.

Tips for Making Lasagna-Stuffed Meatloaf:
- Choose high-quality ground beef for the meatloaf. A blend of chuck and sirloin is a good option, as it provides a good balance of flavor and texture. - Be sure to mix the ground beef thoroughly with the other ingredients, until everything is well combined. This will help to ensure that the meatloaf is evenly cooked and flavorful. - Don't overwork the meatloaf mixture, as this can make it tough. Mix it just until everything is evenly combined. - Use a large baking dish for the lasagna-stuffed meatloaf, as it will expand during cooking. - Make sure the lasagna noodles are completely submerged in the sauce, as this will help to prevent them from drying out. - Bake the lasagna-stuffed meatloaf for the full amount of time specified in the recipe. This will help to ensure that the meatloaf is cooked through and the lasagna noodles are tender. - Let the lasagna-stuffed meatloaf rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will help to keep the meatloaf from falling apart.Conclusion:
Lasagna-stuffed meatloaf is a delicious and hearty dish that is perfect for a family meal. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a little planning, you can easily create a lasagna-stuffed meatloaf that will be a hit with everyone at the table. So, what are you waiting for?
