  • 1/2 cup ketchup
  • 1/4 cup Progresso™ plain bread crumbs
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 egg
  • 6 sticks (1 oz each) string cheese
  • 1 teaspoon prepared yellow mustard

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 375°F. In large bowl, mix ground beef, 1/4 cup of the ketchup, the bread crumbs, Worcestershire sauce, salt and egg. Press 1/3 of mixture in bottom of ungreased 8x4-inch loaf pan.
  • 2
    Place 2 pieces of the string cheese lengthwise and evenly spaced over beef mixture, with one end of the cheese about 1/2 inch from one end of pan. Cut 2 pieces of string cheese in half crosswise. Place 2 half pieces on beef mixture so cheese extends full length of pan. Press cheese into beef mixture.
  • 3
    Top with half of remaining beef mixture; pat evenly in place. Top with remaining string cheese in 2 rows; press in. Press remaining beef mixture over cheese. Press ends and edges of beef mixture well to seal in cheese; smooth top.
  • 4
    Bake 45 minutes. Meanwhile, in small bowl, mix remaining 1/4 cup ketchup, the mustard and brown sugar.
  • 5
    Remove meatloaf from oven. Spoon juices from meatloaf; spoon ketchup mixture evenly over top.
  • 6
    Return to oven; bake 30 to 45 minutes longer or until thermometer inserted in center of meatloaf reads 160°F. Let stand 15 minutes before cutting into slices.

  • Stagger the placement of the cheese on the second layer so it is not directly above the first layer. Press ends and edges of beef mixture well to seal in the cheese.
