2. Mix Bread Crumbs and Blue Cheese: In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of bread crumbs with 1/4 cup of crumbled blue cheese. This forms the flavorful base for your meatloaf.

3. Add Ground Beef Mixture: To the breadcrumb and blue cheese mixture, add the ground beef, egg, finely chopped onion, salt, and pepper. Mix everything thoroughly until well combined. Your mixture should be cohesive and evenly seasoned.

4. Shape the Loaf: Transfer the meat mixture to the prepared baking dish. With your hands, shape it into a round loaf, ensuring it’s evenly formed and compacted.

5. Create a Depression: Using the back of a spoon, create a crater-like depression in the center of the meatloaf. This will hold the blue cheese dressing and add a burst of flavor to each slice.

6. Fill with Blue Cheese Dressing: Spoon the blue cheese dressing into the depression on top of the meatloaf. The creamy texture and tangy flavor of the dressing will infuse into the meat as it bakes, adding layers of richness.

7. Optional: Add More Blue Cheese: For an extra burst of blue cheese flavor, sprinkle additional crumbled blue cheese on top of the meatloaf before baking. This step is perfect for true blue cheese enthusiasts!

8. Bake to Perfection: Place the prepared meatloaf in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 1 hour, or until the meat is cooked through and the top is golden brown.

9. Serve and Enjoy: Once baked, remove the meatloaf from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before slicing. Serve with your favorite sides, such as Parmesan Cous Cous or roasted vegetables, for a complete and satisfying meal.
