Ingredienser
  

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1/2 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 ounces mozzarella cheese, cut into 4 cubes

fremgangsmåte
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, sun-dried tomatoes, basil, egg, breadcrumbs, garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix with your hands until the ingredients are evenly distributed.
  • Divide the mixture into four equal portions. Flatten each portion slightly, place one mozzarella cube in the center, and shape the meat around the cheese to form a small loaf. Seal the edges well so the cheese stays inside.
  • Place the formed loaves on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until the meat reaches 160 degrees inside and the cheese has melted.
  • Let the meatloaves rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Press the meat firmly around the mozzarella cubes to keep the cheese from leaking during baking. These pair nicely with a simple green salad or roasted vegetables. Leftovers reheat well in a 350-degree oven for 10 minutes to keep the centers creamy.
