A similar recipe appeared on a campaign brochure for a candidate who was running for office in 1970. I played with the ingredients until it suited my family's tastes.

Cheese-Stuffed Loaf Recipe

Prep: 20 min. Bake: 45 min. + standing

Yield: 4 Servings

20 45 65

Ingredients

1/2 cup ketchup
1 egg
3 tablespoons milk
1/2 cup dry bread crumbs
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 pound lean ground beef
2 cups (8 ounces) shredded mozzarella cheese

Directions

In a bowl, combine the first seven ingredients; mix well. Crumble beef over mixture and mix well. On a large piece of heavy-duty foil, pat beef mixture into a 10-in. x 6-in. rectangle. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese to within 1/2 in. of edges. Roll up, jelly-roll style, starting with a short side and peeling away foil while rolling. Seal seam and ends. Place seams side down in a greased 11-in. x 7-in. baking pan. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 45 minutes or until meat is no longer pink and a meat thermometer reads 160°. Let stand 10 minutes before slicing. Yield: 4 servings.

An opened bottle of ketchup can be stored in the refrigerator indefinitely. One 16-ounce bottle yields 1-2/3 cups.

very good! i've made meatloaf with swiss cheese and ham in the middle and that is super yummy. i prefer to leave out the italian seasoning though.

This is an awesome recipe! I loved it and so did my whole family. Even the leftovers were great.

I only made one change that that was that I did not use ketchup, I used some very mild salsa instead.

The meat mixture is a little loose so I usually add a little less ketchup to it. I've never had any success managing to keep all of the cheese inside the loaf, but what does seep out doesn't burn and is very tasty!
