Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams ground beef
- 250 grams ground pork
- 1 medium, finely chopped onion
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 2 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup milk
- 0.5 cup, grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 chopped red bell pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 whole, peeled hard-boiled eggs
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
In a small pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until softened and fragrant, about 3 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, sautéed onion and garlic, eggs, parsley, breadcrumbs, milk, Parmesan cheese, red bell pepper, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix well with your hands or a wooden spoon until fully combined.
Take a medium-sized loaf pan and line it with parchment paper or lightly grease it with oil.
Press half of the meat mixture into the loaf pan, spreading it evenly. Make a shallow groove in the center.
Place the peeled hard-boiled eggs in a row along the groove.
Cover the eggs with the remaining meat mixture, pressing down gently to seal the edges and create an even loaf shape.
Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 70°C (160°F) and the top has turned golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before carefully removing it from the pan.
Slice and serve warm. Enjoy your Awesome Pan De Carne with a side of mashed potatoes, rice, or a fresh salad!
