Meat Mixture
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 lb ground pork
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1/2 cup minced onion
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley or thyme, chopped
Filling
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese
- 1 cup chopped spinach
- 1/2 cup diced bell peppers
- 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms
Glaze
- 1/2 cup ketchup or BBQ sauce (for glazing)
- Prepare the Meat Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the ground beef and pork with breadcrumbs, beaten eggs, minced onion, garlic, chopped herbs, salt, and pepper. Mix gently just until evenly combined to keep the meat tender.
- Roll Out the Meat: Spread the meat mixture evenly on a sheet of parchment paper or foil into a rectangular shape about 1/2 inch thick for easier rolling.
- Add the Filling: Evenly layer the shredded cheese and chopped vegetables over the meat, leaving a small border on one side to seal the roll.
- Roll and Seal: Using the parchment paper to assist, carefully roll the meat tightly from one edge to the other. Pinch the edges well to seal and prevent filling from escaping while baking.
- Glaze and Bake: Place the rolled meatloaf on a baking tray, brush the top with ketchup or your preferred glaze, and bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 45 to 55 minutes until cooked through and golden on top. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the center reaches 160°F (71°C).
Notes
- Do not overmix the meat mixture to ensure the roll stays tender and juicy.
- Using parchment paper helps with rolling the meat neatly and keeps your workspace tidy.
- Seal the edges tightly to prevent the filling from leaking during baking.
- Allow the meatloaf to rest for 10 minutes after baking before slicing for juicier slices.
- Use a meat thermometer to confirm safe internal temperature (160°F/71°C).
