Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds ground beef
- 0.5 pounds ground pork
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 0.5 cup, finely chopped onion
- 2 cloves, minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup, chopped baby spinach
- 0.5 cup, finely chopped sun-dried tomatoes
- 0.25 cup ketchup
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, onion, garlic, salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning. Mix until the ingredients are just combined. Do not overmix.
In a separate small bowl, prepare the filling by mixing the shredded mozzarella cheese, chopped baby spinach, and sun-dried tomatoes.
Divide the meat mixture into four equal portions. Flatten each portion into a rectangular shape on a piece of parchment paper or a clean surface.
Spoon a quarter of the cheese and spinach filling onto the center of each meat rectangle.
Carefully roll up the meat around the filling, pinching the edges and ends to seal completely. Shape each roll into a loaf form and place it on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, whisk together the ketchup, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce. Brush this mixture evenly over the tops of the meat loaves.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the loaves reaches 160°F (71°C).
Remove the meat loaves from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with your choice of sides, such as mashed potatoes or a green salad.
