Cheeseburger Meatloaf

Cheeseburger Meatloaf



2 pounds ground beef
3/4 cup fresh bread crumbs (I used dried)
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 cloves crushed garlic
2 eggs, beaten

3 tablespoons of Worscestire sauce
1 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoons ground black pepper
2.5 cups shredded Cheddar cheese

Ketchup and mustard (optional)


Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
In a large bowl, combine the beef, bread crumbs, onion, garlic eggs, worcestire sauce, 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 (I used a loaf pan).


Bake in the preheated oven 1 hour, or until internal temperature reaches 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Drizzle ketchup (and mustard, if desired. I hate mustard) on top for the last 10-15 min.
