Not just another meatloaf……This is an Italian Meatloaf smothered in the most incredible tomato marinara sauce.
I promise I am not exaggerating.
This is not just another meatloaf with ground beef/mince mixed together with some random Italian herbs.

This is so much more than that!
THIS is made in the spirit of homemade Italian sausages.Have you ever made Italian sausages?
I dont have all that equipment in my humble kitchen.
But Ive manage to recreate the flavours in this ridiculously delicious Italian meatloaf!
As I alluded to above, the seasonings for this meatloaf are akin to homemade Italian sausages.
The pork adds juiciness, the beef is the main flavour base.
The crowning glory of this is the tomato sauce.
THIS is the key differentiating factor in this recipe.
Most meatloaves are not made with a sauce.
Why throw out free flavour??
The meatloaf finishes cooking IN the sauce.
LOOK how juicy this meatloaf is!
I use my secret tip to make this with bread soaked in grated onion rather than breadcrumbs.
Its the same technique I use for myItalian Meatballsthat readers are raving about!
Flavour on flavour on flavour!

I swear, the meatloaf is made even juicier than usual by cooking it partly submerged in the sauce.
It surely must suck up some liquid??
I also use my technique to soak bread in grated onion rather than using breadcrumbs.

The use of grated onion also makes this meatloaf extra tasty.
This is the same technique I use to make my classicItalian Meatballsextra soft and juicy.
Have I convinced you yet that this is worth trying?
