Ingredients

⅔ cup Italian-seasoned panko (Japanese bread crumbs)
⅓ cup milk
1 egg
1 pound ground beef
1 (3.5 ounce) link Italian sausage, casing removed and chopped
1 medium onion, finely chopped
⅓ cup marinara sauce, divided
½ teaspoon garlic salt
4 (1 ounce) sticks string cheese
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
5 fluid ounces heavy whipping cream
2 cups finely shredded Parmesan cheese
1 pinch freshly grated nutmeg

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a loaf pan.
Combine panko, milk, and egg in a small bowl and allow to soften, about 5 minutes.
Combine ground beef, sausage, onion, 3 tablespoons marinara sauce, and garlic salt in a bowl. Add panko mixture and mix by hand until combined. Pat 1/2 of the mixture into the prepared pan. Lay 2 string cheese sticks side-by-side horizontally on top, leaving about 1/2 inch from the ends of the pan; stack remaining cheese sticks on top. Cover with remaining meat mixture.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes. Remove from the oven and cover with remaining marinara sauce. Bake for 20 minutes more.
While meatloaf bakes, prepare Alfredo sauce. Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring with a wooden spoon, about 1 minute. Add heavy cream and stir until combined. Add Parmesan cheese and stir until blended. Season with nutmeg.
Remove meatloaf from the oven and allow to rest for about 10 minutes. Pour Alfredo sauce down the middle of meatloaf. Slice and serve.
