Step 1

Preheat oven to 375°.

Place a medium nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion, and sauté for 3 minutes.

Crumble ground meats over cheese mixture; stir just until blended.

Best Meatloaf Ever

This meatloaf is delicious and I've been making it for years. However, 329 cals per 1/12 of this loaf is a very stingy serving. I cut it into eight servings: 493 calories per slice. And it's still stingy!

YUM! This recipe will enter my regular rotation. I used 1/2 pork and 1/2 beef and it turned out very well. Next time I will get leaner ground beef, however as it was a bit greasy. I would also make this in smaller tins as others have suggested to allow for a faster cooking time - prep is easy, but cooking is a bit long for a weeknight.

I've been looking for a good meatloaf recipe and this was good, not great. My husband did not go back for seconds, which in our house means, keep trying! I found this very moist, but lacking in flavor. The meat was overpowered by the cheese. If I make it again, I would definitely add less cheese. To be fair, I did not have the dijon mustard, so used 1/2 as much spicy brown, but the meat still tasted more like cheese than anything else. I also made in the muffin tins as suggested and while serving was easier, clean-up was more involved! If your family likes cheesey, this is the one for you. I however, will keep looking.

My 4 year old actually thanked me for fixing dinner when I made this. I made muffins instead of one loaf. My husband and 8 year old also loved it as well and both said 5 stars!

Great flavors, very moist & tender but difficult to get a slice to a plate without breaking. Served with steamed brussels sprouts and CL's caramelized onion & horseradish potatoes. Hearty for a cold & rainy day.
