Mozzarella Stuffed Meatloaf Patties
After making our Simple Salisbury Steak meal with you the other day, my kiddos started with their meatloaf dinner requests. Salisbury steaks and meatloaf happen to my families favorite fall and winter meals. They love both meals with mashed potatoes and a veggie. I never have any complaints, they all clear their plates which means I usually do not have leftovers to crowd my fridge.

I will often make my favorite Slow Cooker Meatloaf or our Mini Meatloaf Cupcakes. They are both super simple but require a bit more effort and time to make than this super simple Mozzarella Stuffed Meatloaf Patties meal.
Stuffed burgers have been the rage these past few years. I bought the fancy stuffed burger press thingy mi-bobs. I went on a hunt in my kitchen cabinets and drawers and could not locate that darn thing. So I improvised and did them without the handy burger tool, I used the bowl of my measuring cup, ha ha. They turned out great. Just a little bit of cheese escaped.
I really liked how super simple this meal was to whip up for my family. The patties are perfect and paired well with the sauce/red gravy.
These patties and gravy have a bit of a Italian flare to them since they have mozzarella in the middle. I imagine you could use cheddar cheese too.
I loaded our Meatloaf patties on top of a scoop of mashed potatoes. I think the flavors were perfect together. My hubby noted that you could also try them on a bed of spaghetti. My kiddos love mashed potatoes with their meatloaf so that’s what we served up.
If your family loaves meatloaf, this will be a perfect ground beef meal for you to make. With just a few ingredients, you can whip up this meal in no time at all. Feel free to add in some diced onions and peppers to make your patties even tastier. My kiddos can be so picky about peppers and onions so I left them out this time.
