Our family’s favorite meatloaf is stuffed with mozzarella.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds ground beef
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce, divided
- ½ cup bread crumbs
- 1 egg
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano, divided
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Step 2
Mix beef, onion, 1/2 of the tomato sauce, bread crumbs, egg, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon oregano, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Pat into a 1/2-inch-thick rectangle on a sheet of waxed paper. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top.
Step 3
Lift up the short side of the waxed paper to start rolling up the meatloaf. Roll tightly, peeling back paper as you go. Seal edges in place. Transfer meatloaf to a loaf pan.
Step 4
Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour. Combine remaining tomato sauce and 1/2 teaspoon oregano; pour over meatloaf and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Bake until cheese is melted, about 15 minutes more. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
Cook’s Note:
I sometimes like to add extra garlic – depends on who is coming over for dinner!
