Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a bowl, combine the ground meat with breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, minced garlic, chopped onion, and eggs.
Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly incorporated.
On a large baking sheet, shape the meat mixture into a loaf, creating a well in the center for the stuffing.
In a separate bowl, mix together the ricotta cheese, shredded mozzarella, sautéed vegetables (spinach or kale), sun-dried tomatoes, and fresh basil.
Take your cheese and vegetable mixture and carefully fill the well you created in your meatloaf.
Gently press the edges of the meat mixture back together to seal in the stuffing.
Mix ketchup with Italian herbs, a bit of brown sugar, and a splash of balsamic vinegar for the glaze.
Bake for about 60-70 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C).
Brush the glaze over the meatloaf during the last 15 minutes of baking.
