  • Heat oven to 350.

  • Cut cheese into either 6 large cubes or 18 small cubes.
  • Form meat mixture into 6 seperate loaves.
  • Insert either 1 large cube or 3 small cubes into each loaf.

  1. This was very good. I added some finely chopped onion and 2 cloves of minced garlic, and I baked them up in a muffin tin, then served them over top spaghetti, with more spaghetti sauce drizzled over top. I was kind of sad that the mozarella didn't stay inside the meatloaves, but it didn't affect the taste at all- they were wonderful. Hubby inhaled his, and went back for 2nds, and without me asking him what he thought, told me this was definately a "make again" recipe. Thanks so much for posting.
     
  2. Meatloaf-ism...my not so wild belief that Zaar has some of the best meatloaf recipes around. Made for Alphabet Soup Tag.
     
  3. These were so easy to put together on a night I was rushed to get dinner on the table. Served them with spagetti and the kids loved them almost as much as I did. Easily can adapt the recipe to your own spices/taste. UPDATE This has become a staple in our home. Thanks so much *Z* for an awesome recipe!
     
  4. very easy to make. Instead of cubed mozzarella cheese, I used shredded mozzarella cheese thats all I had. I enjoyed it. Will definately make again. My kids aren't fans of meatloaf , but they wanted more . Thanks for the recipe.
