How to Make Polka Dot Meatloaf
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, ketchup, onion, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Gently mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Shape half of the meat mixture into a log in the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- Place 3 string cheese sticks (1 ounce each) on top of the meatloaf layer, staggering them so they are not directly above each other.
- Top with the remaining meat mixture, shaping it into a log.
- Place the remaining 3 string cheese sticks on top of the second layer, again staggering their placement.
- Spread the remaining ketchup evenly over the top of the meatloaf.
- Bake for 135 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
- Let stand for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
