Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds ground beef
- 0.5 pounds ground pork
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1.5 teaspoons sweet paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 3 large hard-boiled eggs
- 0.5 cup pitted green olives, chopped
- 0.5 cup roasted red peppers, sliced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease a loaf pan.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, minced garlic, paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix well with your hands or a spoon until evenly combined.
On a clean surface, lay out a large piece of parchment paper or plastic wrap. Transfer the meat mixture onto it and flatten it into a rectangular shape, about 1/2 inch thick.
Place the hard-boiled eggs in a line across the center of the rectangle. Top with the chopped olives, roasted red peppers, and chopped parsley.
Carefully roll the meat mixture around the filling, forming a log shape. Seal the edges tightly to avoid the filling spilling out during cooking.
If you're using a loaf pan, transfer the meatloaf to the pan. Otherwise, place the meatloaf on the prepared baking sheet.
Mix the tomato paste with olive oil in a small bowl. Brush this mixture over the top of the meatloaf for a shiny glaze that adds extra flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
Once cooked, remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This helps retain its shape and juices.
Slice and serve warm. Pair with a side of roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
