1 small onion, finely diced
1/2 bell pepper, diced
1 tsp olive oil
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 tsp spices (such as paprika or chili powder)
1/2 tsp dried basil
1/2 tsp dried parsley
1 beaten egg
3/4 cup Italian breadcrumbs (use almond flour for keto option)
2 slices white bread, crusts removed and torn into small pieces
1 tbsp almond milk
8 oz shredded mozzarella cheese, reserve 3/4 cup
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup marinara sauce, plus extra for garnish

Instructions:

Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a loaf pan with cooking spray or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
Prepare the Meat Mixture:
- In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the diced onion and bell pepper in olive oil until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground Italian sausage, sautéed onion and bell pepper mixture, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, spices, dried basil, dried parsley, beaten egg, Italian breadcrumbs (or almond flour for keto option), torn white bread, almond milk, and shredded mozzarella cheese (reserve 3/4 cup for topping). Mix until well combined.
Shape the Meatloaf:
- Transfer the meat mixture to the prepared loaf pan and shape it into a loaf shape, pressing down gently to compact the mixture.
Add the Cheese Topping:
- Spread the reserved shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top of the meatloaf, followed by the grated Parmesan cheese.
Bake the Meatloaf:
- Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the meatloaf is cooked through and the cheese is melted and golden brown on top.
Serve and Garnish:
- Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
- Serve the Keto Parmesan Meatloaf slices with marinara sauce drizzled on top for garnish, if desired.
