Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Ground beef
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 1 small Onion
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 cups Broccoli florets
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup Ketchup
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
Finely dice the onion and mince the garlic.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, eggs, milk, onion, garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined but do not overwork the mixture.
Steam or microwave the broccoli florets for 3-4 minutes, or until just tender. Set aside to cool slightly.
Lay a large sheet of parchment paper on the counter. Spread the meatloaf mixture into a flat rectangle about 1 inch thick. Ensure the width is approximately the size of your loaf pan.
Evenly distribute the steamed broccoli florets down the center of the rectangle. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the broccoli.
Carefully roll the meat mixture over the filling, using the parchment paper to guide you. Seal the edges and ends to encase the filling completely.
Transfer the rolled meatloaf seam-side down to the prepared loaf pan.
In a small bowl, mix the ketchup, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce. Spread this glaze mixture evenly over the top of the meatloaf.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Serve with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes or a green salad, and enjoy!
