Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Whisk the first 7 ingredients in a large bowl to blend. Stir in the Parmesan and bread crumbs. Mix in the beef, pork, and veal. Pack half of the meat mixture into a 9 by 5 by 3-inch loaf pan. Spoon the stuffing over the meat in the pan, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges. Top with the remaining meat mixture, enclosing the stuffing completely and pressing firmly. Spoon the marinara sauce over the meatloaf, then sprinkle with the provolone cheese.
- Bake, uncovered, until the meat loaf is firm to the touch in the center and has pulled away from the sides of the pan, about 45 minutes. Cut crosswise into slices and serve.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Butter a 15 by 10 by 2-inch glass baking dish. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add the pancetta and saute until crisp and golden, about 10 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the pancetta to a large bowl. Melt the remaining butter in the same skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions, carrots, celery, rosemary, and garlic. Saute until the onions are very tender, about 12 minutes. Gently stir in the chestnuts and parsley. Transfer the onion mixture to the large bowl with the pancetta. Add the bread and Parmesan and toss to coat. Add enough broth to the stuffing mixture to moisten. Season the stuffing, to taste, with salt and pepper. Mix in the eggs.
- Transfer the stuffing to the prepared dish. Cover with buttered foil, buttered side down, and bake until the stuffing is heated through, about 30 minutes. Uncover and continue baking until the top is crisp and golden, about 15 minutes longer.
MEATLOAF STUFFING
I get bored of regular red sauce meatloaf. I've combined my version of holiday stuffing and turned it into a meatloaf. This alternative is delicious and full of veggies and apples. Instead of using bread crumbs, crackers, or oatmeal, try Pepperidge Farm® Herb Seasoned Stuffing! Perfect for fall-winter comfort-style dinners. Pairs well with traditional mashed potatoes and dinner rolls. After experimenting several times over the course of a few years, I've come up with what I call 'Meatloaf Stuffing'. You can use ground beef if meatloaf meat is not available. Enjoy!

Steps:
- 1. Coat the inside of a 3 1/2-quart slow cooker with cooking spray and prepare the aluminum foil sling.
- 2. Beat the egg in a medium bowl. Stir in the onion, breadcrumbs, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, and salt and pepper to taste in a small bowl. Add ground beef and combine well. Form into two 5 x 3-inch ovals. Transfer one oval to the center of the prepared slow cooker. Place the 4 mozzarella balls evenly down the center of the meat. Move the second oval on top of the mozzarella and press around the edges to seal. Pour tomato sauce over meatloaf.
- 3. Cover and cook on High for 3 hours. The meatloaf is cooked when an instant-read thermometer inserted into the middle of the loaf registers 165 degrees.
- 4. Remove cover, turn off slow cooker, and allow meatloaf to rest 10 minutes. Gather the four strips of the sling toward the center and lift to remove the loaf to a serving platter. Slide meatloaf off the foil with a spatula or knife. Serve warm.
Tips:
- Choose the right ground meat. A combination of ground beef and ground pork is a classic choice for meatloaf, but you can also use all beef, all pork, or a mixture of other ground meats, such as lamb or veal.
- Season the meatloaf well. Use a variety of seasonings to flavor the meatloaf, such as garlic, onion, salt, pepper, and herbs. You can also add other ingredients to the meatloaf, such as bread crumbs, eggs, and vegetables.
- Be careful not to overmix the meatloaf. Overmixing the meatloaf can make it tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
- Form the meatloaf into a loaf shape. Place the meatloaf mixture in a loaf pan and press it down firmly to form a loaf shape.
- Bake the meatloaf at a moderate temperature. The ideal temperature for baking meatloaf is 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Bake the meatloaf for about 1 hour, or until it is cooked through.
- Let the meatloaf rest before serving. Let the meatloaf rest for about 10 minutes before serving. This will help the juices redistribute and make the meatloaf easier to slice.
Conclusion:
With these tips in mind, you can make a delicious and flavorful meatloaf that your whole family will enjoy. Meatloaf is also versatile, making it a great option for different occasions, whether you are having a casual family dinner or a special holiday meal.
