How to Make Meatloaf Texas Style

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, gently combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, Rotel, Worcestershire sauce, onion, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Do not overmix.
  3. Place the meat mixture onto a large sheet of plastic wrap or parchment paper. Shape it into a 1/4-inch thick rectangle.
  4. Evenly distribute the cheese slices over the meat, leaving a 1/2-inch border on all sides.
  5. Using the plastic wrap or parchment paper to assist, tightly roll the meatloaf into a log, pinching the seams to seal and prevent cheese leakage.
  6. Lightly grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan with cooking spray.
  7. Carefully transfer the meatloaf into the prepared pan using the plastic wrap or parchment paper.
  8. Bake for 75-80 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
  9. Let the meatloaf rest for 15-20 minutes before slicing and serving.
