Buffalo sauce, ground beef, pork sausage and two cheeses are combined in this delicious, easy Buffalo Cheesy Meatloaf recipe!
Meaty, cheesy, buffalo sauce deliciousness, it really doesn’t get much better than that!
This recipe was inspired by a popular WhitneyBond.com party app, Buffalo Cheesy Sausage Balls. A recipe which I actually whipped up earlier today for a fun event.
The event was the Cox Communications Smart Home event in Gainesville, Florida, where I was sharing how to use my Amazon Alexa App “Whitney Bond’s Recipe Search“.
The app will verbally walk you through any recipe on WhitneyBond.com totally hands free! I also shared how to use WiFi devices in the kitchen, like this WiFi Crock Pot and WiFi Coffee Maker.
It’s pretty cool how much you can do with technology and Cox High Speed internet in every room of the house, and that’s what this event was all about!
I spent the day tweeting, snapchatting, posting to my Instagram Story and going live on Facebook to share a behind-the-scenes look inside the Cox Smart Home Kitchen. Check it out and learn how to use some sweet WiFi devices in the kitchen and how to use my Amazon Alexa app!
Now let’s get to this delicious meatloaf recipe!
I wanted to create a “dinner version” of the popular buffalo cheesy sausage ball party app, so I came up with this cheesy meatloaf recipe, and boy am I glad I did!
This meatloaf is juicy, tender, cheesy and so flavorful, I seriously want to put this on my weekly dinner menu, it’s that good!
Buffalo Cheesy Meatloaf Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 cup diced onion
- 6 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 lb pork sausage
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 egg
- ½ cup breadcrumbs
- 8 oz cubed cream cheese (softened)
- 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese (divided)
- ¾ cup buffalo sauce (divided)
Buffalo Cheesy Meatloaf Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the onions, saute for 4-5 minutes, then add the garlic and saute for an additional minute. Remove from the heat and set aside.
Add the pork sausage, ground beef, egg, breadcrumbs, cream cheese, 1 cup cheddar cheese and ½ cup buffalo sauce to a large bowl.
Add the cooked onion and garlic.
Use your hands, or a spatula, to combine everything, then press into a pan.
Kurt bought me this square springform pan specifically for the purpose of making meatloaves!
Yes, I know it says “dessert pan” but this is seriously the perfect pan for a meatloaf!
I always struggled with getting meatloaves out of a loaf pan, enter square springform pan. Easily pop off the sides after the meatloaf is baked and slice it up. Seriously, so much easier than a loaf pan!
Also, any grease drains out into the lip around the bottom of the pan, instead of pooling on top of, or around the meatloaf, like with a loaf pan.
Needless to say, the square springform pan has changed my meatloaf game!
Now that I’ve gone on and on about pans, let’s place the cheesy meatloaf in the oven and cook for 25 minutes.
Remove from the oven, brush with the additional ¼ cup buffalo sauce and top with the remaining ½ cup cheddar cheese.
Place back into the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes.
Remove from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
So much cheesy, buffalo sauce goodness in one dish!
This is not your traditional meatloaf, this is cheesy meatloaf, and it’s soooo good!
A buffalo style meatloaf deserves some buffalo style potatoes to go with it!
Serve this meatloaf with Buffalo Blue Cheese Mashed Potatoes, Buffalo Potato Salad or Buffalo Potato Wedges!
