Preheat and Prep (10 minutes):
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and milk. Let them sit for a few minutes to soften.
Mix the Meatloaf (10 minutes):
In a large bowl, combine the ground meat, soaked breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, diced onion, diced bell pepper, minced garlic, chopped parsley, chopped basil, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper.
Add the eggs and mix gently until everything is well combined. Avoid overmixing to prevent a tough texture.
Form and Bake (1 hour):
Shape the meatloaf mixture into a loaf and place it in a greased or parchment-lined baking dish.
Pour 1/2 cup of marinara sauce over the top.
Bake the meatloaf in the preheated oven for 45 minutes.
Add Cheesy Topping and Finish Baking (20 minutes):
Take out the meatloaf and spread the remaining marinara sauce evenly.
Top with shredded mozzarella cheese.
Return the meatloaf to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serve and Enjoy (5 minutes):
Remove the Italian Meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves (optional) and serve with your favorite sides.
