In a large bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and milk. Let them sit for 2\u20133 minutes until the breadcrumbs soften.<\/li>\n<li>Add the ground beef, egg, onion, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, and paprika. Gently mix until everything is well combined. Avoid overmixing so the meatloaf bites stay tender.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Stuff with cheese:<\/strong> Scoop out a small portion of the meat mixture and flatten it in your hand. Place a cube of cheese in the center, then carefully fold the meat around it, completely sealing the cheese inside. Repeat with the remaining mixture.<\/li>\n<li>Arrange the meatloaf bites on a parchment-lined baking sheet or place them into a lightly greased muffin pan.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Make the glaze:<\/strong> Mix the ketchup, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic powder in a small bowl.<\/li>\n<li>Brush each meatloaf bite generously with the glaze.<\/li>\n<li>Bake for <strong>18\u201322 minutes<\/strong>, or until the beef is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of <strong>160\u00b0F (71\u00b0C)<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Let them rest for about <strong>5 minutes<\/strong> before serving. The cheese will be hot and gooey inside, so allow them to cool slightly.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3>Serving Tip<\/h3>\n<p>Serve these cheesy meatloaf bites with extra ketchup, barbecue sauce, ranch dressing, or your favorite dipping sauce. They\u2019re especially delicious while warm, when the cheese is still perfectly melted.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cheesy Stuffed Meatloaf Bites These cheesy stuffed meatloaf bites are juicy, tender, and packed with melty cheese in every bite.&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":7791,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7790","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-recipe"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7790","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7790"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7790\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7792,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7790\/revisions\/7792"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7791"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7790"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7790"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7790"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
