You won’t miss the classic meatloaf once you get a taste of this one. In fact, I almost never make classic meatloaf. I usually throw in ingredients that would make you nervous. Like bleu cheese 🙂 For this parmesan meatloaf I used pork, veal, and beef. I wanted a very tender meatloaf. I did throw in some bbq sauce for extra flavor and I loaded it with cheese. I wanted this meatloaf to resemble chicken parmesan.
Took 1 hour to cook and about 5 minutes to prepare. So easy. Definitely a weeknight meal. Your family will love this.
