Mix all ingredients except mozzarella pearls in a large mixing bowl. Mix well.

Portion meat into 6, or however many desired, meatloafs. Take half of each portioned loaf and flatten a little with your hands. Place a few mozzarella pearls in the center. Take the other half of the portion, and flatten a little like the first half. Combine flattened portions and press together, keeping the mozzarella in the center, surrounded by meat. Press firmly to compact the loaf and leave no air gaps.

Place on a sheet tray lined with parchment paper. Bake at 350° for approximately 35 minutes. Make sure mestloaf reaches 155°. Take out of the oven when it reaches 150°, and tent with foil. Allow to rest and carry over cook to 155°
