Directions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

  • Season with salt, pepper, crush red pepper and worcestershire sauce, to your preference. Mix until combined.
  • Evenly spread 1/2 of meat mixture into a prepared meatloaf pan, leaving about a 1/2 inch border to seal cheese in the meatloaf. Add sliced aged cheddar. Add remaining meatloaf mixture on top.
  • Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes at 350 degrees.
  • Meanwhile, make your ketchup-sriracha topping (instructions below).
  • When there is about 10 minutes remaining, heat a cast-iron pan over medium-high heat.
  • After the meatloaf is done baking, remove from the oven and sear in cast-iron pan on both side. Put the oven setting on broil.
  • After meatloaf is seared, put on a baking sheet then add the ketchup-sriracha topping. Broil for approximately 5 minutes.
  • Allow meatloaf to rest for another 5 minutes before slicing into it.
  • Ketchup-Sriracha Topping
  • Mix ketchup, sriracha, worcestershire, salt and pepper.
