Macaroni and Cheese Stuffed Meatloaf

Serves: Serves 4 – 6

Prep Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 50 mins

  • 1 cup Bob Evans Macaroni and Cheese
  • 1 1/4 lbs. lean ground beef
  • 1 cup Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup finely diced onion
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoons dried parsley
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup Honey BBQ Sauce
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/3 cup ketchup
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons yellow mustard

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly spray a 9×13” casserole dish with non-stick spray and set aside.

Combine the lean ground beef, breadcrumbs, eggs, onion, garlic powder, parsley, salt, pepper and honey BBQ sauce in a large bowl, kneading the mixture until fully combined.

Take half of the meat mixture and shape it into about an 8”x4” loaf in the center of the casserole dish. Gently press down in the center of the loaf, creating a small cavity in the middle, leaving the sides about 1 inch thick.

In a separate bowl mix together the Bob Evan’s macaroni and cheese with the mozzarella cheese, then pour into the small cavity in the meat mixture. Use the remaining meat mixture to top the loaf, making sure to enclose the macaroni and cheese by pinching the sides closed.

Bake for 40 minutes then remove from oven and increase temperature to 400 degrees.

In a new small dish combine the topping ingredients and then pour/brush over the top of the meatloaf. Return to the oven for an additional 10 to 15 minutes, or until meatloaf is cooked through and topping is bubbly.

Let meatloaf stand for at least 5 to 10 minutes before slicing and enjoying.
