I believe I have finally concocted my perfect meatloaf. 1 1/2 pounds of ground round, a cup of bread crumbs, a cup of cheese, a couple of splashes of soy sauce, 3 tbs of egg whites from the carton, and BBQ sauce for the glaze. Dense and just slight dry, and really damned good left overs--and I have to keep reminding myself that I want left overs.

Mexican mix, supermarket combo used for tacos etc. It was what I had handy. I had an Italian mix, but I didn't think mozzarella would work well.

Excellent Connie! That sounds tasty.
I like to make meatloaf with cubes of cheese rather than shredded, so as to end up with discrete lumps of cheesiness distributed through the loaf and any that have external exposure get nice and toasty.

I have never even heard of cheese in meatloaf. I feel like I'm more agog than this warrants, given cheeseburgers are a thing.

Swiss Loaf a la I Hate to Cook is what I grew up with. Meatloaf that is glazed or covered in tomato sauce is weird to me.

Brenda, glad I'm not the only one going "cheese???"

One of my special birthday meals when I was a kid was meatloaf with cheese in the middle and on top. Bigger chunks of cheese sound like a good idea.
Edit: This may be a dish variation from mid-century rural America, where exotic food was LaChoy chow mein and fancy ethnic food was lasagna. It was a different age.

That was my reaction, too, immediately followed by "CHEESE!!!" Because that sounds really yummy.
