Here's what's cookin... in Lil' Debs' kitchen: Summer 2023 Meredith's Mozzarella Stuffed Meatloaf Recipe from : Meredith (a Pinterest recipe with personal flair) Serves: 6-8 ingredients: 1 lb. ground beef     Sauce: 1 med. onion, finely chopped     1 tsp. mustard 1/2 small bell pepper, finely chopped     1/2 cup ketchup or BBQ sauce ( I use a little more) 1 handful fresh parsley (or 1 tsp. dried), chopped     1 Tbsp. Worcestershire Sauce 1/2 tsp. salt 1 tsp paprika 2 tsp. Italian seasoning 4 Tbsp. bread crumbs 1 large egg 4 oz. mozzarella cheese, diced(I use string cheese) ------- Prep: Line a rimmed sheet pan with foil and lightly grease it. Preheat oven to 350° Make the meatloaf mix: In a small bowl, prepare the sauce by combining the mustard, paprika, Worcestershire Sauce and ketchup/BBQ sauce. Place all remaining ingredients for the meatloaf in a large mixing bowl, including approximately 1/3 of the "sauce" ( I use more), and combine well. Shape: Shape meat into a loaf on the prepared pan. Create a deep crease down the middle and fill with the mozzarella cheese. Tightly pinch the meat together on top to close over the cheese. Bake: Spread the entire loaf with an additional 1/3 sauce on top. Bake for 30 min. Remove and spread remaining sauce over the top and then bake an additional 20-30 minutes, or until it has reached an internal temperature of 160°. Remove: from oven and let rest for 10 minutes before serving
