Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Ground beef
- 0.5 pounds Ground pork
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup Milk
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 cups Baby spinach
- 4 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 0.25 cup Ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easier removal.
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, ground pork, eggs, breadcrumbs, milk, Parmesan cheese, onion, garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated. Set aside.
In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the spinach until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a small bowl, mix the cooked spinach with cream cheese and shredded mozzarella cheese. Stir until combined and set aside.
Take about two-thirds of the meat mixture and press it into the prepared loaf pan, creating a well in the center while leaving some meat around the edges.
Spoon the spinach-cheese mixture into the well, spreading it out evenly. Cover the spinach mixture with the remaining meat mixture, pressing gently to seal the edges and enclose the filling.
In a small bowl, mix ketchup and Worcestershire sauce. Spread this mixture evenly over the top of the meatloaf for a flavorful glaze.
Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 55-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the meatloaf reaches 160°F (71°C).
Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy!
