Instructions:
-
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
-
Combine the hamburger meat, eggs, Rotel tomatoes, and Worcestershire sauce in a mixing bowl until well blended.
-
Flatten the meat mixture to about 1/4 inch thick on a sheet of wax paper.
-
Shape the meat mixture into a flat rectangle.
-
Layer the slices of American cheese on top of the meat, leaving about a 1/2 inch space along the outside edges.
-
Roll the meat mixture, along with the cheese, like a jellyroll starting from one end of the wax paper.
-
Pinch the sides of the meatloaf to seal in the cheese, preventing it from melting out during baking.
-
Spray a loaf pan with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
-
Carefully transfer the rolled meatloaf into the loaf pan using the wax paper to assist.
-
Top the meatloaf with additional slices of American cheese for extra cheesy goodness.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the meatloaf is cooked through and golden brown on top.
-
Allow the meatloaf to rest for 20 minutes after removing it from the oven. This allows the flavors to meld together and makes slicing easier.
-
Serve slices of this delicious Meatloaf Texas Style with your favorite sides and enjoy the flavors of the Southwest in every bite!
