A 'stuffed' meatloaf made with beef, pork, cheese, eggs, soup mix and bread crumbs. Mozzarella cheese jazzes up a classic.
INGREDIENTS (for 8 servings):
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 pound ground pork
- 1 (1 ounce) envelope dry onion soup mix
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 1/2 cups dry bread crumbs

- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
PREPARATION:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
