Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Ground beef
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 1 medium, finely chopped Onion
- 3 minced Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 8 ounces, cubed Cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup Ketchup
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease a loaf pan.
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, eggs, milk, chopped onion, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined, but do not overmix to avoid making the meatloaf tough.
On a clean surface or a sheet of parchment paper, flatten the meat mixture into a rectangular shape, about 1 inch thick.
Place the cubed cheddar cheese in a single row along the center of the rectangle, leaving an inch of space at the edges.
Carefully fold the sides of the meat mixture over the cheese, sealing the edges to fully encase the cheese in the center. Shape it into a loaf.
Transfer the meatloaf to the prepared baking sheet or loaf pan.
In a small bowl, mix the ketchup, brown sugar, and Dijon mustard to create the glaze.
Spread the glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf.
Bake the meatloaf 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 to allow the cheese to set slightly.
Slice and serve warm. Enjoy your cheesy, flavorful meatloaf!
