Description

This stuffed meatloaf isn’t your average loaf. It takes a comfort classic and gives it a gooey, cheesy upgrade with a molten mozzarella center and a perfectly caramelized glaze. Juicy, flavorful, and showstoppingly satisfying, it’s ideal for family dinners or when you want comfort food that feels a little extra.

2 lbs ground beef (80/20)
