Ingredienser
  

  • 1.5 pounds ground beef
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 6 ounces queso blanco, cut into small cubes

fremgangsmåte
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and lightly grease a loaf pan.
  • In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, onion, garlic, breadcrumbs, egg, taco seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix with your hands until the ingredients are evenly distributed.
  • Press half of the meat mixture into the bottom of the loaf pan to form a base layer. Arrange the queso blanco cubes in a single line down the center of the meat. Cover with the remaining meat mixture and press the edges to seal the cheese inside.
  • Bake for 50 to 55 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees. Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Cut the queso blanco into small cubes so it stays contained during baking and creates even cheese pockets in each slice. Leftovers reheat well in a skillet over medium heat to keep the edges crisp. If the taco seasoning you use is mild, add a pinch of chili powder to the meat mixture for more flavor.
