Mix everything gently until just combined.
Shape half of the meat mixture into a loaf on a baking tray.
Add the mozzarella, cheddar, and Parmesan cheeses in the center, leaving about 1 inch around the edges.
Cover with the remaining meat mixture and seal the edges completely.
Brush the top with melted butter.
