Cheesy Italian Meatloaf

This was the first time that I had ever tried this recipe out and it turned out incredibly delicious.  I would ask that those that are not fans of meatloaf revisit it and give it another chance with this recipe.  For those of you who are fans already, this is a great take on an old recipe.  Enjoy!

Ingredients:
3 Eggs
1 Cup Breadcrumbs (Tightly Packed)
Seasoning (Alpine Touch, Garlic Salt, Mediterranean Oregano, Mediterranean Basil, a couple of dashes of red pepper flakes)
1 lb Ground Beef
1/2 lb Ground Italian Sausage
1 Cup Colby Jack Cheese (grated)
1/2 Cup Smoked Butterkase (grated) (or another smoked cheese)

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  In a large bowl, combine the eggs, bread crumbs and seasoning.  Mix thoroughly.  Crumple the meat over the mixture and mix all together.   Press half of the meat mixture into a loaf pan.  Sprinkle 3/4 of the cheese over the top of the meat.  Pat the remaining meat mixture on top of the cheese.
Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 50-55 minutes.  Meat thermometer should read about 160 degrees.  Turn off the oven.  Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top and let sit in the warm oven for about 5 minutes to melt the cheese.  Remove the meat loaf from the oven and let stand for 10 minutes.  Serve & Enjoy!
