Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Mix beef, bread crumbs, onion, eggs, salt, and pepper just until the mixture comes together. Do not over-mix.

Spread your shredded cheese on the center of your meat mixture. Leave a ¾ inch border around the edges.

Step 5

Start forming your pinwheel loaf by rolling up your mixture like a jelly roll.

Place in a 10x15 baking dish.

Step 8

Cook for 1 hour or until the center reaches 160 degrees F.

If adding a glaze, put your oven temperature to 400 degree F and caramelize the glaze for 10 minutes.

Let sit for 10 minutes before cutting.
