Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds ground beef
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 0.5 cup onion
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1.5 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 cups baby spinach leaves
- 0.5 cup ketchup
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, onion, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
On a sheet of wax paper or parchment paper, flatten the meat mixture into a large rectangle (approximately 12x8 inches).
Layer the mozzarella cheese and baby spinach leaves evenly over the flattened meat mixture, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
Using the paper to help, carefully roll the meat mixture into a loaf, starting from one of the shorter sides. Pinch the edges to seal the seam and prevent the filling from leaking out.
Transfer the rolled meatloaf, seam-side down, into the prepared loaf pan.
In a small bowl, mix together the ketchup, brown sugar, and mustard to create the glaze. Brush the glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf.
Bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the meatloaf reaches 165°F (74°C).
Allow the meatloaf to rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
