Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground beef (80/20 blend)
- 0.5 lb Ground pork
- 12 pieces Pancetta slices
- 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup Milk
- 1 large Egg
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
- 0.5 cup Yellow onion (finely diced)
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 0.25 cup Ketchup
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 12 pieces Mini sandwich buns
- 2 tbsp Butter
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly grease it with nonstick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, minced garlic, diced onion, Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly with your hands or a large spoon until fully combined.
Divide the meat mixture into 12 equal portions. Shape each portion into a small rectangular loaf, approximately the size of your mini sandwich buns.
Wrap each meatloaf with a slice of pancetta, tucking the ends underneath to secure it. Place the wrapped meatloaves onto the prepared baking sheet, seam-side down.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the meatloaves reaches 160°F (71°C). Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes.
While the meatloaves are baking, lightly butter the inside of the mini buns and toast them in a skillet or on a griddle over medium heat until golden brown.
Assemble the sandwiches by placing one mini meatloaf on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Add your favorite toppings or condiments (such as a dollop of ketchup or mustard, pickles, or a slice of cheese) if desired, and cover with the top bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Mini Pancetta Wrapped Meatloaf Sandwiches!
