(Courtesy of Taste of Home)

Ingredients:
1 c. meatless spaghetti sauce, divided
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 c. seasoned bread crumbs
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 tsp. dried rosemary, crushed
1 lb. lean ground beef
8 oz. bulk Italian sausage
3 pieces string cheese

Directions:
In a large bowl, combine 1/2 c. spaghetti sauce, egg, bread crumbs, garlic and rosemary.  Crumble meat over mixture and mix well.

Press half into a greased 8x4 inch loaf pan.  Place 2 pieces of cheese, side by side, near one end of loaf.  Cut the remaining piece of cheese in half; place side by side on opposite end of loaf.  Top with remaining meat mixture; press down firmly to seal.

Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees, for 1 1/4- 1 1/2 hours or until meat is no longer pink and a thermometer reads 160 degrees; drain.  Drizzle with the remaining spaghetti sauce; bake 10 minutes longer.  Let stand for 10 minutes before slicing.
