Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lbs Ground beef (80/20 lean-to-fat ratio)
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cups Milk
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 1 medium Yellow onion, finely diced
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tbsp Ketchup
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 1.5 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cups Ketchup (for glaze)
- 2 tbsp Brown sugar
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a large rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, eggs, diced onion, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently with your hands until just combined—do not overmix to avoid a tough meatloaf.
Take a large sheet of parchment paper or plastic wrap and lay it on a flat surface. Transfer the meat mixture onto it and flatten it into a large rectangle, approximately 10x12 inches in size.
Evenly spread the shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese over the rectangle, leaving about an inch of space along the edges to prevent the filling from spilling out.
Using the parchment paper or plastic wrap as an aid, carefully roll the meat rectangle into a tight log starting from one of the shorter sides. Pinch the seam and ends to seal the cheese inside.
Transfer the meatloaf onto the prepared baking sheet, seam-side down.
In a small bowl, mix the ketchup, brown sugar, and Dijon mustard to create a glaze. Brush it generously over the meatloaf.
Bake the meatloaf in the preheated oven for 60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) when measured with a meat thermometer.
Let the meatloaf rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing to allow the juices to redistribute.
Slice and serve warm. Enjoy your cheesy stuffed meatloaf with your favorite sides!
