Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 eggs
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup marinara sauce (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Combine the ground beef, shredded cheese, breadcrumbs, chopped onion, milk, eggs, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Mix until well combined.
- Transfer the mixture into a greased baking dish and shape it into a loaf.

Notes
For added flavor, try using garlic powder or Italian seasoning in the meat mixture. You can substitute the ground beef with ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option. If you prefer a spicier kick, add some chopped jalapeños or red pepper flakes.
