This recipe is so easy that I can put all the ingredients on the same shelf in the refrigerator and have my husband throw it together on soccer practice nights. It can also easily be assembled and refrigerated to pop into the oven after work. I keep wondering what it would be like as leftovers, but there is never any left!

Tips:

  • Use a combination of ground beef and ground pork. This will give the meatloaf a more flavorful and juicy texture.
  • Add plenty of seasonings. Meatloaf is a great opportunity to experiment with different flavors. Common seasonings include garlic, onion, paprika, thyme, and oregano.
  • Don't overmix the meatloaf. Overmixing can make the meatloaf tough. Just mix the ingredients until they are combined.
  • Shape the meatloaf into a loaf shape. This will help it cook evenly.
  • Place the meatloaf in a baking dish with sides. This will prevent the juices from running out of the meatloaf and making a mess in your oven.
  • Bake the meatloaf at a moderate temperature. This will help to prevent the meatloaf from drying out.
  • Let the meatloaf rest before slicing. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the meatloaf and make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

Cheesy meatloaf is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. With a few simple tips, you can make a meatloaf that is moist, flavorful, and sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a hearty and satisfying meal, give cheesy meatloaf a try!
