Place ⅔ of the mixture on the loaf pan and form into an 8×4-inch square. Make a small indent in the middle and add cheese. Top with remaining meat mixture and form a loaf sealing cheese in.
Top with marinara sauce and bake 45 minutes.
Combine bread crumbs, butter, parmesan cheese and parsley.
Top meatloaf with mozzarella and bread crumb topping. Bake an additional 15 to 20 minutes or until the center of the loaf reaches 165 degrees F.
