Ingredients
- 2 pounds 80/20 ground beef
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 eggs
- 3/4 cup rolled oats
- 3/4 cup ketchup, divided
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and freshly-ground black pepper
- 1 (6-oz) block Roth Creamy Havarti or Organic Havarti cheese
Method
- Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet or dish with foil (for easy cleanup!).
- In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or in a large bowl with a wooden spoon), combine beef, onion, eggs, oats, 1/2 cup ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Mix on the lowest speed until combined.
- Rinse a 9- x 5-inch loaf pan with water. Pack the meat mixture tightly into pan.
- Carve out a well 4 inches long x 1 inch wide (leave 1/2-inch border around each side) and set aside the meat you pulled out.
- Fill the well with shredded Havarti cheese. Using the reserved meat mixture, cover and seal the shredded cheese carefully and thoroughly.
- Flip the pan over and carefully jiggle out the loaf onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake 60 minutes.
- Remove from oven. Increase oven temperature to 400 degrees F. Brush the remaining 1/2 cup ketchup over the meatloaf. Return to oven and bake 10 minutes longer.
- Remove from oven. Cool 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
