Why You’ll Love This Cheeseburger Meatloaf Cheddar Roll

This is not your grandma’s plain old meatloaf. It’s comfort food with a twist—juicy beef, seasoned just right, wrapped around a melty cheddar center that creates gorgeous cheesy swirls when sliced. Here’s why I love it (and why you will too):

Anything but boring! That gooey cheddar spiral makes each slice a showstopper.
Moist and flavorful. No dry meatloaf here—the cheese keeps everything juicy.
Family-approved. My kids call it “magic meat,” and the name has stuck!
Versatile. You can switch up the cheese or seasonings to make it your own.

The flavor? Imagine your favorite cheeseburger but served in cozy, sliceable form. The beef is savory and tender, and the cheddar inside turns each bite into cheesy bliss.

Ingredients You’ll Need

Ground beef (900 g / 2 lbs) – Choose 20% fat for maximum juiciness.
Fresh bread crumbs (180 g / ¾ cup) – Homemade or bakery crumbs give the best texture.
Minced onion (75 g / ½ cup) – Adds sweetness and depth.
Eggs (2 large, beaten) – The binding magic.
Salt (9 g / 1 ½ tsp) – Seasons the whole loaf.
Black pepper (4 g / 1 ½ tsp) – Freshly ground for a little kick.
Cheddar cheese (340 g / 3 cups, shredded) – The star of the show.
