Italian Style Meat Loaves

I've mentioned THIS cookbook before.  I love it (especially this recipe).

Ingredients
1 beaten egg
1 cup of soft bread crumbs (about 1 1/2 slices)
1/2 cup bottled spag. sauce or pasta sauce
1-2 cloves of garlic - minced
1/2 tsp dried rosemary, crushed
1 lb lean ground beef
8 ounces bulk Italian or Pork sausages
6 sticks of provolone cheese (like the size of a thing of string cheese)
1/2 cup bottled spag. sauce or pasta sauce

6 tbsp shredded provolone cheese

1) In a large bowl combine egg, bread crumbs, 1/2 cup spag. sauce, garlic and rosemary.  Add ground beef and sausage - mix well

2) Divide the meat mixture in to 6 equal portions - shape each in to a loaf.  Press a stick of cheese lengthwise in the middle of each loaf and mold the meat around the cheese - place 2 meat loaves in an 8x8x2in baking pan.

3) Bake, uncovered, in a 350 degree oven for 30 minutes.  Drain fat and spoon remaining spag. sauce over loaves.  Also top with shredded cheese and continue baking, uncovered, for 5 minutes more.  Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.

*This recipe is for 2 personal meat loaves.  Freeze the remaining 4 loaves for up to 3 months.
