Cheddar Stuffed Meatloaf Recipes

CHEESEBURGER MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• In a large bowl, combine the beef, bread crumbs, onion, eggs, salt and pepper, and mix well. Pat out meat mixture into a 14x18 inch rectangle on a piece of wax paper. Spread cheese over the meat, leaving a 3/4 inch border around the edges. Roll up jelly roll fashion to enclose the filling and form a pinwheel loaf. Press beef in on both ends to enclose the cheese. Place in a 10x15 inch baking dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven 1 hour, or until internal temperature reaches 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).

Steps:

• Place ground beef in a large mixing bowl, add beaten eggs, 1 cup of barbecue sauce and crushed crackers.

• To cook direct on the grill: line a pan with parchment paper or butcher paper. Pour mixture onto paper and form into a loaf. Alternately: Form meatloaf on a grill pan that you can just set on the grill.
• Make an indent in the center of the loaf and fill with cheese. Press meat mixture together, sealing over cheese.
• Prepare a grill or smoker to 300° with hickory wood.
• Fold paper into a roll over meatloaf. Gently unroll onto grill or if using grill pan, place over indirect fire.
• Close the lid and cook 30 minutes.
• Brush meatloaf over top and sides with remaining barbecue sauce.

SUPER STUFFED MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Mix together ground beef, bread crumbs, egg, 1/2 a chopped onion, milk, Worcestershire sauce in a bowl; season with garlic, Italian seasoning, dry mustard, salt, and black pepper. Transfer the meat mixture to a piece of waxed paper or aluminum foil and flatten to a 1/2-inch thick rectangle.
• Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir yellow onion and mushrooms in melted butter until the onion is translucent and mushrooms soft, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat to cool.
• Spread filling mixture into center of meat rectangle. Sprinkle Cheddar cheese over filling, leaving a bit of space at one end for easier rolling and sealing. Pick up the edge of the waxed paper or foil to roll the flattened meat into a log around the filling. Seal the ends and seam and place the loaf into a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until oil from the cheese begins to pool, about 30 minutes. Drain oil and continue baking until the meat is no longer pink in the center, about 30 to 60 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
