Cheddar-Stuffed Meatloaf Morsels Recipe Savory Treat

Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 0.5 cup breadcrumbs
• 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 0.25 cup milk
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 0.5 cup ketchup (for glaze)
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, milk, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
3. Take a small amount of the meat mixture (about the size of a golf ball) and flatten it in your hand. Place a teaspoon of shredded cheddar cheese in the center.
4. Carefully fold the meat around the cheese and shape it into a ball, ensuring the cheese is completely enclosed. Repeat with the remaining meat mixture and cheese.
5. Place the meatloaf morsels on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart. If using Worcestershire sauce, drizzle it lightly over the morsels for added flavor.
6. In a small bowl, mix the ketchup with a tablespoon of water to thin it out slightly. Brush this glaze over the tops of the meatloaf morsels for a delicious finish.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until cooked through and no longer pink in the center.
8. Remove from the oven and let the meatloaf morsels rest for a few minutes before serving.
