Ingredients

Scale

Meat & Cheese

  • 8 ounces fresh mozzarella, cut into small cubes
  • 2 pounds ground meat mix or single type (beef, pork, or combo)

Binders & Seasonings

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 teaspoons onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon coarse black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Set the oven rack in the middle position and preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil for easy cleanup.
  2. Prepare Mozzarella: Cut the fresh mozzarella into small cubes, then place them in the refrigerator to keep chilled while preparing the meat mixture.
  3. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, beat the eggs thoroughly. Add the almond flour, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, kosher salt, garlic powder, and black pepper. Mix well until combined. Add the ground meat and mix gently with your hands just until the ingredients are incorporated without overworking the meat.
  4. Form Meatloaf Base: Use about two-thirds of the meat mixture and place it on the foil-lined baking sheet. Shape it into a roughly 9×5-inch loaf shape. Create a hollow in the center about 7×3 inches, leaving a 1-inch border of meat around the edges to hold the cheese filling.
  5. Stuff with Cheese: Evenly distribute the diced mozzarella cubes into the hollowed center of the meatloaf. Then gently cover with the remaining meat mixture, pressing it down firmly to flatten and completely seal the mozzarella inside the loaf.
  6. Bake: Place the meatloaf in the preheated oven and cook for approximately 55 to 60 minutes, or until the meat is browned on all sides and the internal temperature reaches at least 165°F (74°C) as checked with a meat thermometer.
  7. Rest Before Serving: Remove the loaf from the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes before slicing. This resting time allows the juices to settle and prevents the melted cheese from spilling out excessively.

Notes

  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure the loaf reaches a safe internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  • Do not overmix the meat to keep the loaf tender and juicy.
  • Letting the loaf rest before slicing helps retain moisture and keeps the cheese perfectly contained.
  • This recipe works well with a ground beef and pork mix for enhanced flavor.
  • You can substitute Worcestershire sauce with coconut aminos for a soy-free version.
