Cooking the dish according to the recipe:
- Preheat oven to 175°C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Meatloaf:
Heat olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add garlic, onion, bell pepper, and crushed red pepper, if using, and cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes. Set aside to cool. - In a large bowl, combine the beef, Parmesan, breadcrumbs, parsley, Worcestershire sauce, garlic salt, coarse salt, pepper, basil, eggs, 1/2 cup marinara, and cooled vegetables. Mix everything together with your hands. Transfer the mixture to the center of the prepared baking sheet and form into a loaf. Brush the meatloaf with the remaining 1/2 cup marinara.
- Bake until the meatloaf is set, 45 minutes to 1 hour (depending on the shape of your loaf). Let it rest for about 5 minutes before slicing.
- Sandwiches:
Brush the buns with butter and then sprinkle with garlic salt. Place on a baking sheet and bake until lightly golden brown, about 5 minutes. Top each toasted bun with a slice of meatloaf, a little marinara sauce, and 3 slices of mozzarella. Return to the oven and bake until the cheese is melted, 8–10 minutes.
