  • Total Time: 1 hour 15 minutes
  • Yield: 10 slices (serves 5)

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 cup chopped yellow onion
  • 1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper
  • 3 minced garlic cloves
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 lb. 93% lean ground beef
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup 2% milk
  • 2 Tbsp ketchup
  • 1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp dried parsley leaves
  • 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
  • 4 oz. mozzarella cheese, chopped into 1/2 inch cubes

Topping

  • 1/4 cup ketchup

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the meatloaf.
  2. Sauté Vegetables: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add chopped onion and green bell pepper, cooking for 5-6 minutes until softened. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, stirring frequently. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
  3. Prepare Meatloaf Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, lightly scramble the egg with a fork. Add ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, salt, dried parsley, and black pepper. Once the sautéed vegetables are cool enough to handle, add them to the bowl.
  4. Combine Ingredients: Using your hands, thoroughly mix and mash all ingredients together until evenly combined.
  5. Add Cheese: Gently fold the cubed mozzarella cheese into the meat mixture until well distributed.
  6. Shape Meatloaf: Transfer the mixture to a 9×13 inch baking dish. Press and shape into a uniform loaf.
  7. Apply Topping: Spread the ketchup evenly over the top and sides of the meatloaf for moisture and flavor.
  8. Bake: Place in the preheated oven and bake for 55 minutes, until the meatloaf is cooked through and the topping is set.
  9. Rest and Serve: Let the meatloaf cool for 10 minutes to allow juices to redistribute before slicing into 10 equal pieces for serving.

Notes

  • Use 93% lean ground beef for a good balance of juiciness and fat content.
  • Allow the sautéed vegetables to cool before adding to the meat mixture to avoid prematurely cooking the egg.
  • You can substitute mozzarella with provolone or cheddar cheese for different flavor profiles.
  • Letting the meatloaf rest after baking improves slicing and helps retain moisture.
  • For a gluten-free version, replace breadcrumbs with gluten-free crumbs or ground oats.
