Spoon the cream cheese mixture into the well in the meatloaf
Cover the filling with the remaining meat mixture, sealing the edges
Place the meatloaf in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until cooked through Ranch Drizzle:
In a small bowl, whisk together the sour cream and ranch dressing mix until smooth
Once the meatloaf is cooked, drizzle the ranch mixture over the top
