Everyone loves cheese, and everyone loves stuffing things with cheese. (Maybe not all things… not sure we're ready for a gummy worm stuffed with cheese, but you know some enterprising R&D chef is on it.) Meatloaf stuffed with cheese is just perfect; every bite gives a salty gooey surprise. Bring the cheese, except in our gummy worms, please.

Before You Cook

Cooking Guidelines

To ensure food safety, the FDA recommends the following as minimum internal cooking temperatures:

  • Steak and Pork 145° F (rest cooked meat, 3 minutes) |
  • Seafood 145° F |
  • Chicken 165° F |
  • Ground Beef 160° F |
  • Ground Turkey 165° F |
  • Ground Pork 160° F

Customize It Instructions

  • If using ground turkey, roast until loaves reach minimum internal temperature, 20-25 minutes.

  1. 1

    Start the Potatoes

    Cut potatoes into 1" wedges.

    Place potatoes on one prepared baking sheet and toss with 2 tsp. olive oil, half the garlic salt (reserve remaining for broccoli), and 1/4 tsp. pepper. Spread into an even layer.

    Roast in hot oven until golden-brown and tender, 25-30 minutes.

    While potatoes roast, continue recipe.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Ingredients

    In a mixing bowl, combine half the ricotta (reserve remaining for meatloaves), mozzarella, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Set aside.

    Cut broccoli into bite-sized pieces.

    Mince garlic.

  3. 3

    Form the Meatloaves

    In another mixing bowl, combine ground beef, panko, remaining ricotta, half the Italian seasoning, half the garlic (reserve remaining of both for sauce), and 1/2 tsp. salt.

    Divide beef mixture into 4 equally-sized ovals. Press your thumb into center of each oval and place 1/4 the cheese mixture into each well. Close meat around cheese and re-form into an oval. Form a tight seal so cheese stays inside meat.

  4. 4

    Roast the Meatloaves and Broccoli

    Place stuffed meatloaves on one half of second prepared baking sheet and evenly top with 2 tsp. olive oil.

    Roast in hot oven, 10 minutes.

    Carefully remove from oven.

    Place broccoli on empty side of baking sheet and toss with 2 tsp. olive oil, remaining garlic salt, and a pinch of pepper. Spread into an even layer on their side. Baking sheet will be hot! Use a utensil.

    Roast again in hot oven until broccoli is tender and meatloaves reach a minimum internal temperature of 160 degrees, 15-20 minutes.

    While meatloaves and broccoli roast, continue recipe.

  5. 5

    Make Sauce and Finish Dish

    Place a medium non-stick pan over medium heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil.

    Add remaining garlic and remaining Italian seasoning to hot pan. Stir occasionally until fragrant, 30-60 seconds.

    Stir in marinara, 1/4 cup water, 1/4 tsp. salt, and a pinch of pepper until heated through and thoroughly combined, 1-2 minutes.

    Remove from burner.

    Plate dish as pictured on front of card, serving meatloaf (slicing, if desired) with sauce. Bon appétit!
