Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons Cabot Unsalted Butter

  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • One half large white onion, cut into small dice
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup tomato ketchup
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoons Worcestershire Sauce
  • 2 pounds 80% lean ground beef chuck
  • 2 teaspoons salt, divided
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper, divided
  • 2 ½ cups panko (Japanese) breadcrumbs

  • 4 ounces Cabot Monterey Jack, grated (about 1 cup)

  • Cooking spray

Directions

  1. HEAT butter and oil in skillet over high heat. Add onion and sauté for 3 to 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook onion, stirring often, until deep brown in color, about 10 minutes.
  2. PREHEAT oven to 275°F.
  3. WHISK eggs lightly to combine in large mixing bowl; whisk in ketchup, soy sauce, Worcestershire and cooked onions.
  4. ADD ground beef, ½ teaspoon of salt and ¼ teaspoon of pepper and mix with hands until completely blended.
  5. ADD breadcrumbs and fold in until thoroughly mixed. (Be careful not to over-mix or meatloaf will become dense.)
  6. FORM mixture into loaf shape. Down center of loaf, form lengthwise cavity halfway down through loaf. Fill with cheese. Fold one side over cheese, then other side on top, pinching to form seal so cheese will not leak out during baking.
  7. COAT baking sheet with sides lightly with cooking spray and place meatloaf in center. Sprinkle with remaining 1½ teaspoons salt and ¾ teaspoon pepper.
  8. BAKE for 50 minutes to 1 hour or until meatloaf is cooked all the way through. Let stand for 10 minutes for juices to settle before slicing.
  9. Serve with Port Wine Demi-Glaze and Cabot Horseradish Cheddar Mashed Potatoes
