3. Assemble the Meatloaf:
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). On a lined baking sheet or loaf pan, shape half the meat mixture into a loaf. Sprinkle half of the shredded cheese over it. Top with the remaining meat mixture and press gently to seal. Spread ketchup on top.
4. Bake:
Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the meatloaf is cooked through. In the last 10 minutes, sprinkle remaining cheese on top and let it melt and bubble.
5. Serve:
Let the meatloaf rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve with your favorite sides—think roasted potatoes, steamed veggies, or a fresh salad.
