How To Make favorite cheesy meatloaf
-
1Put all ingredients (except for the sliced cheese) into a large bowl
-
2Mix together using hands. (Sorry, but the only way to really combine all of the ingredients in a meet loaf is to use your hands - they're washable)
-
3Turn the meat loaf mixture out onto a flat surface and pat, firmly, into a loaf shape, slightly smaller than the loaf pan you will be using. You will want to be very firm when shaping this - if you want it to hold together after baking. After shaping, turn it over and pat the other side together.
-
4Gently place into a loaf pan. If there is a little room between the pan and the loaf, that's OK - it will be easier to remove from the pan later.
-
5Bake at 350 degrees for about 50 minutes.
-
6Sprinkle top with parmesan cheese and place the provolone cheese slices diagonally across the top of the loaf. Bake a couple of more minutes, to get the cheese bubbly - watch closely so that the cheese doesn't burn, or liquefy and melt away (depending on what cheese you are using). You can also use a mixture of shredded cheddar, mozzarella and parmesan. sprinkled over the top.
