1 c. meatless spaghetti sauce, divided
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 c. seasoned bread crumbs
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 t. dried rosemary, crushed
1 lb. ground beef
8 oz. bulk Italian sausage
3 pieces string cheese
In a bowl, combine 1/2 c. spaghetti
sauce, egg, bread crumbs, garlic and
rosemary. Crumble meat over
mixture and mix well. Press half into
a greased 8x4x2" loaf pan. Place 2
pieces of cheese, side by side, near
one end of loaf. Cut the remaining
piece of cheese in half; place side by
side on opposite end of loaf. Top with
remaining meat mixture; press down
firmly to seal. Bake, uncovered, at
350° for 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours or until
meat is browned and meat
thermometer reads 160°; drain.
Drizzle with the remaining spaghetti
sauce; bake 10 min. longer. Let stand
for 10 min. before slicing. Makes 6
servings. Can use 3 oz. of mozzarella
cheese, cut into 4"x1/2" sticks.
