Certainly the layer of ham and mozzarella cheese takes this meatloaf recipe to a whole new level of deliciousness! Ground beef is mixed with bread crumbs and an assortment of spices, then rolled in a layer of ham and cheese. Topping off the meatloaf is rich tomato sauce and melted cheese. I like to serve Ham Mozzarella Stuffed Meatloaf with plain rice or my favorite recipe for Perfect Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes.

Tips for Making the Perfect Ham and Mozzarella Meatloaf:

  • Use lean ground beef, but not extra lean. The little bit of fat will help avoid a dry meatloaf and add flavor.
  • Do not over mix. Mix just until ingredients are combined. Over mixing will make a dense meatloaf. Using your hands to mix works best!
  • Be sure to soak the bread crumbs in the milk. Saltine crackers also work well.
  • Do not over cook. The best way to ensure this is to use a meat thermometer. Insert into the centre of meatloaf. Done when internal temperature is 160ºF. About 1 hour for a 1 1/2 lb meatloaf.
  • Once baked let meatloaf rest for 5-10 minutes at room temperature before slicing.  This locks in the juices. Tenting with foil will keep it warm.

    Laureen – This is excellent. It brought me new flavors with your spice mix and the ham and cheese. And then smothered in Mozzarella and tomato sauce really brought it home. Great receipe.

    p.s. the waxed paper didnt work so well for me as it sort if disintegrated and was of no value in rolling up the meat loaf. Next time, I think I will use parchment paper or even aluminum foil

      Thanks Earl, meatloaf is the best comfort food. Weird with the wax paper, but parchment paper is a great substitution. Thanks for taking the time to rate my recipe!

    Awesome recipe! Between 3 people all gone! Only 1lbs of ground lean meat. Divided parsley and oregano. Instead of tomato sauce I used well mixed 1/2 cup of ketchup and cocktail sauce….. Call me crazy, but it was incredible…. Parchment paper is best. The ham and mozzarella is a great idea! Delicious!
