Mozzarella Stuffed Meatloaf

Ingredients

    1 pound ground beef (85%)
    1 cup bread crumbs
    1 tsp dried basil
    1 tsp dried oregano
    1 tsp dried parsley
    1 tsp salt
    ½ tsp black pepper
    ½ cup milk
    2 TB worcestershire sauce
    8 oz fresh mozzarella, sliced
    1 cup ketchup
    ¼ cup brown sugar, tightly packed
    1 TB worcestershire sauce
    1 TB red wine vinegar
    2 cloves garlic, crushed
    ? tsp salt
    pinch cayenne pepper 

 Instructions 

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a glass baking pan (9x13) with nonstick cooking spray.
    In a large mixing bowl combine ground beef, bread crumbs, basil, oregano, parsley, salt, 

        pepper, milk, and worcestershire sauce. Knead until combined.
    Divide meat in half. Shape one half of the meat into the bottom half of the loaf and 

        place in prepared pan. 

    Place mozzarella slices down the center, leaving ½ inch around the ends and sides. 

    Shape remaining half of meat as the top half of the loaf, sealing the edges. This is a free-form loaf so

        it doesn't need to be perfect.
    In a small mixing bowl whisk together ketchup, brown sugar, worcestershire sauce, red wine 

       vinegar, garlic, salt, and cayenne pepper. 

    Pour half of this mixture over the meatloaf, reserving the remaining half for later.
    Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes.
    After 45 minutes, remove from oven and pour the remaining sauce over the loaf.

    Increase temperature to 400 degrees and bake for an additional 15 minutes.
    Let rest 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
