Ingredients

Meat Loaf:

3 slices soft bread, torn into small pieces
1 cup milk
1 pound ground beef or veal
½ pound ground lean pork
1 egg yolk
¼ cup onion, minced
1 ¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon each of pepper, dry mustard, sage, and either celery salt or garlic salt
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

Cheese filling:

1 egg white, slightly beaten
1 tablespoon water
2 slices soft bread, torn into pieces
4 ounces crumbled blue cheese or shredded cheddar cheese

Tips & Notes

Check ground beef labels for the lean (90%) to fat (10%) ratio. 93/7 ground beef is even leaner. You can also make your own whole wheat bread crumbs. Just pulse/process several pieces of whole wheat bread in a food processor until desired crumb texture is reached.

Instructions

For cheese filling, combine egg white and water; toss lightly with breadcrumbs and cheese. Set aside.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Stir together bread and milk; mix in remaining ingredients except filling.
Pat one half of meat mixture in greased loaf pan. Cover with cheese filling. Top with remaining meat.
Bake one hour and 30 minutes.
