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
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until cooked through and no longer pink in the center.
- Remove from the oven and let the meatloaf morsels rest for a few minutes before serving.
💡 Chef's Notes
Arrange the meatloaf morsels on a platter and sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley for a pop of color. Serve with a side of your favorite dipping sauce, like barbecue or ranch, for added flavor.
