In my house, anything stuffed with cheese is a hit. I’m a major “cheeseaholic” who could probably never live without cheese. What’s great about this recipe is that it is very easy to make! You could also substitute one cheese type for another.
Ingredients:
FOR THE MEATLOAF MIX:
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 lb ground sausage (if you cannot find ground sausage, use 1 lb sweet Italian sausage and remove casings)
- 2 eggs
- 3/4 cup Italian-style bread crumbs
- 2 and 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
OTHERS:
- 3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
- 1 firm medium tomato, sliced
- 1 scallion (green onions), sliced
- a dash of ground black pepper
- several teaspoons worth of grated parmesan cheese
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Mix all the ingredients from the Meatloaf Mix list. Mix well. Divide this mix into two pieces.
- You will need either a round baking dish or a 8″ square baking dish pan. Spray this with some olive oil. Place 1/2 of the meatloaf mix in the pan and flatten it out.
- Add the three different types of cheese. Make sure you leave at least 1″ border around the dish so the cheese doesn’t ooze out that much when it’s in the oven.
- Sprinkle the sliced scallions on top of the cheese.
- Then add the other half of the meatloaf mix on top. Make sure this top layer covers EVERYTHING (cover the cheese, scallions, et cetera).
- Bake in the 350 degrees oven for 50 minutes.
- Add sliced tomatoes on top of meatloaf after it’s out of the oven.
- Sprinkle some ground black pepper and parmesan cheese on top of tomatoes and bake again for another 10 minutes.

This is an easy dish to make. It does make a great dish to bring to parties.
Ingredients:
- 2 lbs sweet Italian sausage, cut into half
- 4 large potatoes, peeled and sliced into chunky pieces
- 2 red bell peppers, seeded and sliced
- 2 green peppers, seeded and sliced
- 2 large onions, sliced into wedges (I used sweet Vidalia onions)
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 cup white wine
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- Salt and pepper
- Olive oil
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Cook sliced Italian sausage with little olive oil in a pan. Make sure the outside is browned all over before moving it to a baking dish. Don’t worry if it isn’t fully cooked inside, it will finish cooking in the oven.
- When the sausage is moved, throw in sliced potatoes in the pan. Add more olive oil if needed. Season with salt and pepper. Stir once in a while. Let it cook for approximately 10 minutes. Then move to the baking dish.
- Add peppers and onions to the pan. Add more olive oil if needed. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 5 minutes or until the vegetables are soft. You can add in some minced garlic or garlic powder or even garlic salt at this point. I do that sometimes.
- Move peppers and onions to the baking dish. Add in chicken broth, Italian seasoning and the white wine. Mix well.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes.
Tips: you could easily replace the Italian sausage with turkey sausage or kielbasa. You could also add in baby carrots or sliced mushrooms if you want to add more vegetables to the baking dish.
