Ingredients

• 2 pounds Ground beef
• 1 cup Breadcrumbs
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.5 cup Milk
• 1 small Onion
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 cups Broccoli florets
• 1 cup Cheddar cheese
• 0.5 cup Ketchup
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

Finely dice the onion and mince the garlic.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, eggs, milk, onion, garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined but do not overwork the mixture.

Step 4

Steam or microwave the broccoli florets for 3-4 minutes, or until just tender. Set aside to cool slightly.

Step 5

Lay a large sheet of parchment paper on the counter. Spread the meatloaf mixture into a flat rectangle about 1 inch thick. Ensure the width is approximately the size of your loaf pan.

Step 6

Evenly distribute the steamed broccoli florets down the center of the rectangle. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the broccoli.

Step 7

Carefully roll the meat mixture over the filling, using the parchment paper to guide you. Seal the edges and ends to encase the filling completely.

Step 8

Transfer the rolled meatloaf seam-side down to the prepared loaf pan.

Step 9

In a small bowl, mix the ketchup, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce. Spread this glaze mixture evenly over the top of the meatloaf.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).

Step 11

Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Step 12

Serve with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes or a green salad, and enjoy!
