Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Ground beef
- 0.5 pounds Ground pork
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 2 Large eggs
- 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cup Ketchup
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Yellow mustard
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, milk, eggs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until fully incorporated.
On a sheet of parchment or wax paper, pat the meat mixture into a rectangular shape about 12 inches by 10 inches.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly across the surface, leaving a 1-inch border along the edges.
Using the parchment or wax paper to assist, carefully roll the meat mixture into a tight log, starting from one of the shorter edges. Pinch the seams and ends to seal.
Place the meatloaf seam-side down onto your prepared baking sheet or in the loaf pan.
In a small bowl, mix together the ketchup, brown sugar, and yellow mustard to create the glaze. Spread half of the glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes. Remove the meatloaf and spread the remaining glaze over the top.
Return the meatloaf to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your Meatloaf Twist with your favorite side dishes!
