Prepare the ground meat, weighing 1800 grams for about 10 people.

Make the seasoning by taking 2-3 tablespoons of seasoning.

Chop the onion and sauté it over medium heat until it turns golden and fragrant.

Add one yellow bell pepper (or red or green if preferred) to the sautéed onion and continue to stir until cooked.

Cover the mixture and let it cool down.

Add fresh thyme or rosemary, salt, and black pepper to the ground meat and mix all the ingredients together.

Take a suitable cake mold and line it with plastic wrap.

Spread a portion of the meat mixture in the bottom and sides of the mold, ensuring a thickness of at least 1.5 to 2 cm between the meat and the cheese.

Place 300 grams of cheese in the center of the meat mixture, covering it well from all sides.

If there is excess meat after adding the cheese, it can be used without issue.

Preheat the oven to 220 degrees Celsius (top and bottom heat) and bake for 50 to 60 minutes, depending on the oven.

Place the meatloaf in the cold oven and baste it with vegetable concentrate 2-3 times during cooking.
