Time 1h30m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 pounds ground beef
2 eggs
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 cup dry bread crumbs
1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon dried basil

1 tablespoon ketchup

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Combine ground beef, eggs and 2 tablespoons of ketchup in a large bowl. Mix well, then add bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, oregano, basil, pepper, and onion. Set mixture aside. Line the bottom of a 9x13 inch pan with bacon, widthwise. Place half of the meat mixture across the top of the bacon. Lay 3 of the 4 pieces of Cheddar cheese across the center of the meat, lengthwise. Cover the cheese with the second half of the meat mixture and mold the meat into a loaf shape. Pull the ends of the bacon up and around the loaf. Spread 1 tablespoon of ketchup thinly over the loaf.

ROCK STAR CHEESY STUFFED MEATLOAF



Rock Star Cheesy Stuffed Meatloaf image

This recipe comes from joyouslydomestic.com and is the best meatloaf recipe I've ever come across! I like to stuff the meatloaf with Mozzarella and top it with marinara sauce, making it sort of an Italian theme. You can also use a Mexican blend of cheese and top with salsa, so there are many ways to go with this recipe! I sometimes use croutons that you can buy at the store instead of the saltines. Just put them in a bag and crush them with a rolling pin and measure the same as the saltines. Times are approximate.

Categories     < 4 Hours

Time 1h15m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 lbs ground meat (a 50/50 beef and pork combo is best.)
1 egg, slightly beaten
1/2 cup saltine, crushed
2 garlic cloves, peeled and grated
1 small onion, peeled and finely minced
1/4 green bell pepper, finely chopped (optional)
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon seasoning salt, if desired
1 pinch Anjou pear, any dried herbs you like
1/4 cup ketchup, plus more for the top
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 ounces sliced mozzarella cheese
3 ounces shredded cheddar cheese or 3 ounces colby, blend

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Spray a loaf pan with non-stick spray.
  • Combine all of the ingredients except for the cheese in a large mixing bowl. Do not over mix.
  • Divide the meat mixture in half.
  • Spread half of the meat mixture onto the bottom of the loaf pan.
  • Lay down the slices of mozzarella cheese and top with the shredded cheese.
  • Spread out the other half of the meat mixture on top of the cheese being careful not to disrupt the cheese layer too much. You can run a rubber spatula down the sides to really press the meat in towards the loaf to help seal everything inches You really want to seal in the cheese so that it doesn't ooze out.
  • Squirt some of the reserved ketchup onto the top of the loaf. Spread it with a spatula, if desired.
  • Bake, uncovered for 1 hour.
  • Allow to rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Plan to eat immediately upon slicing so that the melted cheese does not cool too much and firm up.

Tips for Making Cheesy Stuffed Meatloaf:

  • Choose the right ground beef: Use a combination of lean and fatty ground beef (80/20) for a moist and flavorful meatloaf.
  • Season the meatloaf well: Don't be afraid to use plenty of seasonings in the meatloaf mixture. This will add flavor and depth to the dish.
  • Don't overmix the meatloaf: Overmixing the meatloaf mixture can make it tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a variety of cheeses: Feel free to use any type of cheese you like in the stuffing. Cheddar, mozzarella, Parmesan, and Gruyère are all good choices.
  • Don't stuff the meatloaf too tightly: The stuffing should be packed in loosely so that it doesn't burst out of the meatloaf while it's cooking.
  • Cook the meatloaf at a low temperature: This will help to prevent the meatloaf from drying out.
  • Let the meatloaf rest before slicing: Let the meatloaf rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meatloaf.

Conclusion:

Cheesy stuffed meatloaf is a delicious and hearty dish that is perfect for a family meal. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a little planning and effort, you can create a cheesy stuffed meatloaf that everyone will love.
