This super cheesy Cheddar Cheeseburger Meatloaf is studded with melty nuggets of cheddar, and topped with a tangy tomato-mustard sauce. 

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup plain breadcrumbs
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup minced onion
  • 4 oz. sharp cheddar
  • 1 lb. ground beef (85/15)
  • 1/2 cup ketchup
  • 1 Tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tsp yellow mustard
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350ºF. In a small bowl stir together the breadcrumbs, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and salt. In a separate small bowl, lightly whisk the egg.

  2. 2

    Finely mince the onion. Roughly chop the cheddar cheese so that it is in pieces about the same size as a small bean.

  3. 3

    Add the ground beef, seasoned breadcrumbs, whisked egg, minced onion, and chopped cheddar to a bowl. Use your hands to mix the ingredients together until incorporated.

  4. 4

    Place the meat mixture in a casserole dish or on a rimmed baking sheet and shape into a rectangle, approximately 7″ long, 4″ wide, and 1.5″ thick. 

  5. 5

    To make the glaze, stir together the ketchup, brown sugar, mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. Spread the glaze over the unbaked meatloaf.

  6. 6

    Bake the meatloaf in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160ºF. Remove the meatloaf from the oven, let it sit for 5-10 minutes, then slice into eight pieces and serve.
