Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large bowl combine ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, parsley, garlic, egg, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
Flatten the meat mixture into a rectangle on a sheet of parchment paper.
Spread chopped roasted red peppers and shredded mozzarella cheese over the meat.
Roll the meat mixture into a log shape, sealing the ends.
Place the meatloaf in a baking dish and pour marinara sauce over the top.
Bake for 60–75 minutes or until fully cooked.
Let the meatloaf rest for several minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

Do not overmix the meat mixture to keep the meatloaf tender. Allow the meatloaf to rest before slicing so the juices redistribute. Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
