- 3 eggs
- 175gram gouda cheeseshredded

Instructions
- First, use the pork shoulder to make pulled pork. I used a stewing pan in which I seared the meat, then added some water and put the pan into the oven for about 6 hours, with the lid on.
If you are not sure on how to prepare it, just use my easy and foolproof method for which you don’t even need a stewing pan: Easy Pulled Pork Recipe - When the pork is about to be done, start to prepare the meat mixture. For that, put the ground beef, eggs & all seasonings into a bowl and mix everything thoroughly until it is a homogeneous mixture. You may use a food processor or simply mix it using your hands
- In the meantime, preheat your oven to 150°C (300°F)
- Take the pork out of the stewing pan / pot, remove all bones, pull the meat apart and keep it on a plate or in a bowl. Then, put a piece of cling film onto a cutting board. This helps to wrap the meatloaf up
- Now, spread the meat mixture on the cling film, as evenly as possible
- Afterwards, add the stuffings on top. Spread the pulled pork evenly and the cheese only on one half
- Then, use the cling film to wrap everything up. Start on the cheese side first to make sure that the cheese will be completely wrapped up and can’t leak out
- When it is all wrapped up, put the loaf onto a baking tray with parchment paper and carefully remove the cling film
- Finally, bake the meatloaf in the oven for about 1 hour
Recipe Notes
Of course, you may also use any other cheese you prefer, like mozzarella, parmesan or cheddar.
The pulled pork turns out great if you use pork neck instead of shoulder, too. It may be even better as pork neck usually is a little fattier then shoulder and therefore juicier & more flavorful.
