Parmesan Meatloaf
Even a novice can easily create this meatloaf. It’s incredibly tasty and tastes like a huge meatball. When I first prepared it, my entire family—including my finicky eaters—loved it, and they have asked for it numerous times since. I typically prepare hot buns, mashed potatoes, and a vegetable to go with it.
I made this for the family last year for the first time, and both the adults and the kids loved it! In addition, it was my first meatloaf, and I kind of liked it.

- One pound of pork ground
- One pound of ground beef
- Two big eggs
- One-fourth cup of breadcrumbs
- half a teaspoon of dried basil
- One-half tsp dried thyme
- One-half tsp dried oregano
- one or two finely minced cloves of garlic
- One little yellow onion, shredded
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper and 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Grated Parmesan cheese, half a cup
- Porkless, homemade marinara sauce, half a cup
- Half a cup of shredded Italian cheese blend
Directions
First 1
- Set the oven’s temperature to 350. Coat a loaf pan (I use a glass bread loaf pan) very lightly with cooking spray and set it aside.
Step 2
- Combine the ground beef and pork, eggs, breadcrumbs, thyme, basil, oregano, garlic, onion, salt, pepper, and Parmesan cheese in a sizable bowl. It will become tough if you overwork the mixture.
Step 3:
- Pour the batter into the loaf pan that has been oiled and shape it into a loaf. Add some pasta sauce on top of the meatloaf.
Step 4:
- Put the loaf pan with contents on a baking sheet and bake it for an hour.
Step 5:
- Take the meatloaf out of the oven and use this opportunity to drain any excess grease from the meats.
Step 6:
- Add the remaining shredded cheese on the top.
Step 7:
- Return the meatloaf to the oven and continue to roast it until the cheese has melted.
- Before slicing, take the meatloaf out of the oven and allow it to rest for five to ten minutes.
