Italian Meatloaf
If you are looking for a delicious alternative to traditional meatloaf, then you will want to check out this recipe for Italian Meatloaf. It was a huge success at our house! My husband really loved the Parmesan Cheese topping!
This recipe made enough for 2 nights of meals, which I loved! My husband thought it would make a great meatloaf sandwich too. I like to serve this with Roasted Broccoli and Crockpot Hashbrown Casserole. You could easily adapt this to be gluten free by substituting gluten free bread crumbs.
It would be great made as a Meatloaf In A Muffin Tin. You may want to check out this Instagram Video I made too! Italian Meatloaf Recipe is a delicious twist on the traditional version. Give this a try! I hope you enjoy this version on the traditional classic.

I had Italian flavored meatloaf many years ago & I loved it!
Do you need 2 pounds of beef like the original recipe calls for, and the sausage is not mentioned in the directions! Definitely do not need to add salt, it has plenty of salt already in it!
The recipe calls for 1 lb ground beef and 1 lb ground sausage. I updated the directions. I also removed the salt – I don’t cook with ANY added salt personally. Thanks!
Wondering if this can be frozen before cooking, and then used as a crockpot meal straight from the freezer…? PaTY!!
Yes it can!
