RUSSIAN STUFFED MEATLOAF
The ONLY meatloaf I could eat prior to this one was my Mamma's. One of my Russian interpreters invited me to dinner one night and she served this one. It was so good I immediately had her translate the recipe. I've tried it here in the U.S. and it's just as good. Makes excellent meatloaf sandwiches!

Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling.
- Choose high-quality ground beef: The quality of your ground beef will make a big difference in the final dish. Look for ground beef that is at least 80% lean and has a good amount of marbling.
- Season the beef well: Don't be shy with the seasonings! A good blend of salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika will give your meatloaf plenty of flavor.
- Use a variety of fillings: Feel free to get creative with your fillings. Some popular options include cheese, bacon, vegetables, and bread crumbs.
- Cook the meatloaf until it reaches an internal temperature of 160°F: This will ensure that it is cooked through without being dry.
- Let the meatloaf rest before slicing: This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meatloaf and make it easier to slice.
