- 1 Tablespoon Italian Seasoning
- 1 Cup Italian Bread Crumbs
- 1/4 Cup Onion, finely chopped
- 1/4 Cup Green Pepper, finely chopped
- 1 Egg
- 1 Tablespoon Honey BBQ Sauce
- 1 Tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, garlic powder, salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, bread crumbs, chopped onion, chopped green pepper, egg, Honey BBQ sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and milk.
- Mix thoroughly, using your hands to blend the ingredients until well integrated.
- Shape the mixture into a football shape, then press down gently in the center, creating a 4-inch cavity.
- Place the mozzarella cheese slices inside the cavity, covering them with the meat mixture from the sides.
- Transfer the stuffed meatloaf onto a lined baking sheet or into a loaf pan.
- In a separate bowl, mix ketchup, brown sugar, salt, pepper, and garlic powder for the meatloaf sauce. Spread this mixture evenly over the top of the meatloaf.

- Allow it to rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing.
