Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 lb Ground beef
- 0.5 lb Ground pork
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 2 Eggs
- 0.25 cup Milk
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp Flat-leaf parsley, chopped
- 1 tbsp Basil, chopped
- 2 tbsp Tomato paste
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish or sheet with olive oil.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, eggs, milk, garlic, parsley, basil, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly with your hands or a wooden spoon until well-combined.
Spread a large sheet of parchment paper onto a flat surface. Place the meat mixture on the parchment paper and flatten it into a 12x8-inch rectangle.
Spread an even layer of tomato paste across the surface of the meat. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the tomato paste, ensuring even coverage.
Using the parchment paper as a guide, carefully roll the meat mixture from one short end to the other, forming a tight log. Pinch the seams and ends to seal the roll.
Transfer the meat roll, seam side down, to the prepared baking dish. Drizzle the olive oil over the top to help it brown.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
Let the meat roll rest for 10 minutes after baking. Slice into 1-inch-thick pieces and serve warm. Enjoy!
