Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Simmer, stirring occasionally for about 1 hour or until the mixture has thickened and has reduced to about 2 cups. Transfer to a bowl and set aside to cool completely.

Shape the remaining beef into 4 equal portions and flatten each portion. Place 2 tablespoons of cheese in the center of each and wrap the edges around the cheese to form a ball. Flatten each ball into patties. Place on platter and cover. Refrigerate if not cooking immediately.
  5. Set up grill or indoor grill pan for direct cooking over medium-high heat. When ready to start grilling, oil the grate. Place patties on the hot oiled grill and cook 4 to 5 minutes per side for medium. Serve over lettuce on toasted buns topped with red onion compote.

This is the best meatloaf I have ever made! We absolutely loved it. It will be a regular on the dinner menu now . It is very tasty and moist and the compote gave it a tangy and sweet flavor. <br />Highly recommend to anyone-especially if you enjoy a good meatloaf. Thanks Sandra!!!
