Gorgonzola Stuffed Meatloaf

This recipe for Gorgonzola-Stuffed Meatloaf is a good one! We love meatloaf around our house. I think there needs to be a meatloaf comeback of sorts. I grew up loving meatloaf and therefore make it very often for my own family. A lot the time I hear groans from friends and family members who do not have such fond memories of meatloaf.

Can I be honest thought? I only really like the meatloaf I make. I don’t like the fake green pepper flavor meatloaf sometimes has when you get it at a restaurant or if you use a packaged seasoning mix. I’ve also learned that mixing veal, pork, and beef yields the most flavorful and tender meatloaf imaginable. In fact, I like very little seasoning added in – a little Worcestershire and thyme, a good sprinkle of salt and pepper are all it really needs. Well, and then you can always kick it up a notch and add a vein of Gorgonzola, which makes it even better! When I was younger, I would use cheddar, but the Gorgonzola is infinitely better in every way. Give it a try I say!

This has my husband’s seal of approval – the Gold Star. To serve, I go traditional and add a side of roasted carrots and mashed potatoes. You can’t go wrong!
