Ingredients

2 pounds ground beef
3/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
1/3 cup heavy cream
1 large egg whisked
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 tablespoon paprika
1 teaspoon parsley fresh
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon pepper
6 ounces mozzarella cheese sliced

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 190C/375F. Line the 9 x 5-inch pan with parchment paper and set aside.
In a large bowl, mix together meat, breadcrumbs, heavy cream, beaten egg, soy sauce, and spices. Knead the meat with your hands until everything comes together. Take half of the mixture and tuck it into the loaf pan, pressing evenly.
Arrange cheese slices in the middle and cover them with the rest of the meat mixture, making sure to seal the edges and cover the cheese from all sides.
Bake meatloaf for 45 minutes. Let it sit for five minutes, before brushing with ketchup and barbecue sauce before serving.

Notes

TO STORE: Cover the cooked and cooled meatloaf with a layer of plastic or foil, then store it in the fridge for up to 1 week.

TO REHEAT: The meatloaf or slices can be reheated quickly in the microwave or in a 350ºF oven for a few minutes. Brush the outside with some water to keep it from drying out.

TO FREEZE: Keep the leftover meatloaf or slices in an airtight container, then freeze for up to 6 months.

Use other ground meat, including ground pork, ground chicken (NOT lean), or ground lamb. I don't recommend ground turkey as it is a little too dry.

Instead of mozzarella, stuff the meatloaf with another great melting cheese, like sliced cheddar cheese, havarti, or pepper jack.

Fold through flavor boosters like mustard, brown sugar, or mashed potatoes.
