Ingredients

2 pounds ground beef
1 cup breadcrumbs
2 large eggs
1 small onion, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
0.5 cup milk
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon salt
0.5 teaspoon black pepper
8 ounces mozzarella cheese (whole milk, shredded or cubed)
0.5 cup ketchup
2 tablespoons brown sugar

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, eggs, onion, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until combined.
Shape half of the mixture into a loaf base on parchment paper. Make a shallow well and fill with mozzarella cheese. Top with remaining meat mixture and seal edges.
Stir ketchup and brown sugar together, then spread over the top of the meatloaf.
Transfer to a greased baking dish and bake for 50–60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy the gooey cheesy center.

Notes

For a richer flavor, mix mozzarella with provolone or cheddar. Letting the meatloaf rest before slicing helps keep it juicy.
