This Italian meatloaf is basically one big giant meatball, or at least that's what I tell my kids so that they'll eat it. But, seriously, it is similar to meatballs, only it has a lot more flavor and is easier to make. Cooked in a rich tomato sauce and covered with a thick layer of Fontina cheese. Slow Cooker Italian Meatloaf tastes exactly like a giant meatball served on spaghetti.
Instructions to make Italian Meatloaf:
- Preheat oven to 350°.
- Mix together meats. Set aside.
- Mix eggs, milk , bread crumbs, and seasonings. Set aside for a couple minutes so bread crumbs can absorb moisture so it thickens up considerably. You'll know it's ready when you stir it & feel you need to add more milk; DON'T.
- Add Panade to Meat Mixture. You'll most likely want to use your hands for this. When adding Panade, mix small amounts at a time, you may not need all of it. Always depends on meats your using & milk you're using, etc. Throw away any unused Panade.
- When ready to shape loaves, divide mixture into however many loaves you would like. I always use cookie sheets & I hand shape my loaves. If you do this method, make sure your loaves are uniform throughout for better results.
- Cover tightly with aluminum foil. Bake for 45 min. Check with meat thermometer, you want 160°. If not done, cover & continue baking.
- When you're down to last 10 or 15 min baking, take foil off, & top with homemade or store bought marinara. You don't need very much. You don't want to overpower meats.
- Take out of oven & let rest 10 min. Enjoy!
