Best Ever Meat Loaf

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

This meat loaf recipe features baked-in Cheddar cheese for rich flavor and a gooey texture.
Home cooks say the savory-sweet glaze creates a juicy loaf that wins over even picky eaters.
Allrecipes member Donna claims, "This was absolutely the best meatloaf I have ever made."

Gather all ingredients. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Whisk eggs, milk, salt, and ground black pepper in a large bowl. Add crumbled bread and stir until dissolved. Mix ground beef, onion, Cheddar cheese, and carrot into bread mixture; transfer mixture to a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
Combine brown sugar, ketchup, and mustard in a small bowl; spread over the meat mixture.
Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center, 60 to 75 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
