Mozzarella Stuffed BBQ Meatloaf
Mozzarella Stuffed BBQ Meatloaf makes four individual perfect-serving meatloaves stuffed with string cheese and topped with bbq sauce!
DELICIOUS AND FLAVORFUL MINI MEATLOAVES
I know what you’re thinking – barbecue flavored food is just for the summer. Right? Well, I am here to tell you (and show you) that those flavors of summer can last through winter when combined with some good ole comfort food! This recipe for Mozzarella Stuffed BBQ Meatloaf is gonna knock your socks off!
These little meatloaves are little flavor bombs. I am using barbecue sauce to season these mini meatloaves and also to glaze them. Then, if that wasn’t enough, I stuffed them with gooey, gooey mozzarella cheese. And you won’t believe how easy it is to make!
A SIMPLE DINNER RECIPE EVERYONE LOVES!
I’ve never made individual meatloaves before but I think I prefer to make it this way now. Everyone gets their own little meatloaf that is perfectly cooked. I served them with mashed potatoes and cooked carrots. You could make this into one large meatloaf as well and just place the mozzarella sticks into the center of the meatloaf.
INGREDIENTS NEEDED: (FULL RECIPE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE POST)
- ground beef
- onion soup mix (or Make your own onion mix)
- large egg
- milk
- crackers
- barbecue sauce
- mozzarella string cheese
HOW TO MAKE MOZZARELLA STUFFED MEATLOAF:
Preheat oven to 350f degrees. Line a baking sheet with nonstick aluminum foil.
In a bowl, combine lean ground beef, onion soup mix, egg, milk, crackers and two tablespoons barbecue sauce. Cook’s Note: I find it easiest just to use my clean hands for this.
Using your hand, divide the meat mixture up into four even sections.
Take one section and add one piece of the cut string cheese into the center of the meat.
Wrap the meat around all sides of the cheese until it is completely covered. Place on prepared baking sheet. Continue with the other three meatloafs.
Pour remaining barbecue sauce on top of each meatloaf. Spread it out with the back of a spoon to cover.
Bake for about 35-40 minutes (until ground beef reaches an internal temperature of 160f degrees.)
Then dig in!
