🥘 Ingredients

16 items

• 2 lbs ground beef
• 0.5 lbs Italian sausage
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup milk
• 2 pcs large eggs
• 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
• 2 pcs garlic cloves, minced
• 0.5 cup ketchup
• 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tsp Italian seasoning

• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 0.25 cup ketchup (for glaze)
• 2 tbsp brown sugar
• 1 tsp yellow mustard

📝 Instructions

10 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease a loaf pan.

2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, Italian sausage, breadcrumbs, milk, eggs, chopped onion, minced garlic, 1/2 cup ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.

3. Mix everything together thoroughly using clean hands or a spoon until well combined.

4. Transfer half of the meat mixture to the prepared baking sheet or loaf pan. Press it down evenly to form the bottom layer of the meatloaf.

5. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the bottom layer, leaving a small border around the edges to prevent cheese from leaking out.

6. Layer the rest of the meat mixture on top of the cheese, ensuring the cheese is fully sealed inside. Shape it into a loaf form if using a baking sheet.

7. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup ketchup, brown sugar, and yellow mustard to make the glaze.

8. Spread the glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf.

9. Place the meatloaf in the oven and bake for 60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).

10. Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy the cheesy surprise in every bite!
