Meatloaf is a difficult little main dish to photograph. I know some can make picture perfect meatloaf with picture perfect slices.

Not this gal.

This stuffed cheesy meatloaf is delicious and a must make again, but forgive the pictures… it doesn’t look all that great. At least, not compared to the caramel apple cake.

Meatloaf or Meatballs

Making meatloaf is a tricky beast. On one hand, it is just like meatballs so everyone in my family should like it. On the other hand, if you say MEAT LOAF, the loaf at the end makes it sound scary, I guess.

But it is the same basic recipe with a few lovely twists. Like cheese. And green onions.

How to make stuffed cheesy meatloaf

So every good recipe starts with chopped green onions. Or cinnamon. 😉

Chop up about 1/2 cup and set aside.

Making meatloaf is actually rather easy. Simply mix together the ground hamburger, egg, bread crumbs, ketchup and liquid smoke in a large bowl. What is liquid smoke? Well it used in cooking meat a lot and adds a smokey, richness to the meat. In the stuffed cheesy meatloaf, it complimented the green onion and hamburger and added texture to the flavor.

After you mix the ingredients up in a large bowl, using lightly sprayed wax paper on the bottom of the large cookie sheet, spread out the meat mixture to a rectangle shape.

Rectangle-ish, remember?!? 

Then roll the meat back up like you would cinnamon roll dough. Then place in a greased loaf pan.

Bake in a 375* oven for 1 1/2 hours or until middle is done.
