1. Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
2. Mix the Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, minced garlic, chopped onion, eggs, milk, Worcestershire sauce, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper. Use your hands to gently mix the ingredients until evenly combined.
3. Shape the Meatloaf
Transfer the meat mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and shape it into a loaf approximately 9 inches long and 5 inches wide. Ensure that the loaf is evenly shaped and compacted to prevent it from falling apart during baking.
4. Bake the Meatloaf
Place the meatloaf in the preheated oven and bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until it is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C). During the last 10 minutes of baking, spread the marinara sauce evenly over the top of the meatloaf for added flavor.
5. Rest and Serve
Once the meatloaf is fully cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a moist and flavorful meatloaf. Serve slices of the Italian meatloaf alongside your favorite side dishes, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a crisp salad.
