Here’s a complete, detailed recipe for that juicy, cheesy meatloaf 👇
🧀 Cheese-Stuffed Meatloaf (Carnivore Style)
🥩 Ingredients (Serves 4–6)
Meatloaf:
- 2 lbs ground beef (80/20 for best juiciness)
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup grated parmesan cheese (optional but adds flavor)
- 2 tbsp heavy cream
- 1 tbsp melted butter
- 1 tsp salt (optional)
Cheese Filling:
- 1–1½ cups shredded mozzarella (best for that gooey stretch)
(or cheddar for sharper flavor)
🔥 Instructions
1. Preheat oven
- Set to 375°F (190°C)
- Line a baking tray or lightly grease a loaf pan
2. Make the meat mixture
- In a large bowl, combine:
- Ground beef
- Eggs
- Parmesan
- Heavy cream
- Melted butter
- Salt
- Mix until just combined (don’t overmix or it gets dense)
3. Shape the base
- Divide the mixture in half
- Press the first half into a loaf shape on your tray
- Make a slight indentation in the center for the filling
4. Add cheese filling
- Add shredded cheese into the center
- Keep edges clear so you can seal it properly
5. Seal the loaf
- Place remaining meat mixture on top
- Press and seal all edges היט היט (very well) so cheese doesn’t leak out
6. Bake
- Bake for 40–50 minutes
- Internal temp should reach 160°F (71°C)
7. Optional finish
- Broil for 2–3 minutes for a golden crust on top
8. Rest before slicing
- Let it rest for 10 minutes
👉 This keeps it juicy and prevents cheese from spilling out too fast
😋 Texture & Flavor
- Outside: firm, slightly crispy
- Inside: juicy, tender beef
- Center: melted, gooey cheese
🔥 Pro Tips
- Use mozzarella for that stretchy cheese pull (like in your image)
- Don’t skip the rest time—it makes a huge difference
- If too greasy, drain excess fat halfway through baking
