This Meatloaf my dad made and is very good. This one goes out to Greg.
1 egg, beaten
1 c. soft bread crumbs
1/2 c. bottled pasta sauce with vegetables and/or herbs
1 to 2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 tsp. dried rosemary, crushed
8 oz. Italian Sausage or pork sausage links or ground beef
1 lb. ground beef
2 oz. provolone or mozzarella cheese, cubed
2 tbsp. bottled pasta sauce with veggies and /or herbs
2 tbsp. shredded provolone or mozzarella cheese
fresh rosemary sprigs (optional)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, combine egg, bread crumbs, 1/2 cup pasta sauce, garlic and rosemary. Remove casings from sausage if using. Add ground beef and sausage and mix well. Press 2/3 of this mixture into a 8X4X2 loaf pan. Make 1/2 in. indentation down center of meat mixture. Place cheese cubes in indentation down the middle. Pat remaining mixture over top. Bake, uncovered for 55-60 min. and let stand for 10 min. Transfer to platter, drizzle top with 2 tbsp. pasta sauce, and sprinkle with the cheese, garnish with rosemary if desired. Serves 6.

Goofed up on last comment... Anyways... I just wanted to reveal a little secret I use on my meatloaf instead of catsup or tomato paste. I use shrimp cocktail sauce. It gives quite a nice little kick!
