Instructions

Meatloaf
Preheat your oven to 400°F / 200°C with the rack in the center. Grease a baking sheet lightly. Alternatively you can line it with a parchment paper.
In a large bowl soak breadcrumbs ( or 4 slices of bread) in milk.
Combine ground beef with the soaked breadcrumbs, onion, garlic, shredded Cheddar cheese, tomato paste, eggs, Worcestershire sauce, yellow mustard, cumin powder, parsley, tomato sauce, ground black pepper and salt. Mix gently until just combined.
Transfer the meat mixture on the tray and stretch it out like pizza dough to get a rectangle. Put Cheddar cheese cubes in the middle and roll the meat up tightly , starting from the short end. Seal the edges completely to make sure the cheese will stay inside the meatloaf. Keep aside.

Meatloaf glaze

In a small bowl mix together tomato sauce, ketchup, honey, paprika, garlic powder, cumin, black pepper, white vinegar and Worcestershire sauce.
Pour half of the glaze over the meatloaf and spread evenly with a spoon. Bake for 1 hour in the preheated oven, then remove and spread the remaining glaze over the meatloaf.
Bake for further 15 minutes. Allow to cool for 10 minutes before serving/ slicing.
Serve over homemade pasta, jasmine rice, Instant pot brown rice, Fettuccini Alfredo, cacio e pepe, mashed potatoes or steamed broccoli.
