Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Ground beef (80/20 mix)
- 0.5 pounds Ground pork
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 medium Yellow onion, finely diced
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.25 cup Ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1.5 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 cups Fresh spinach leaves
- 2 tablespoons Parsley, finely chopped (for garnish)
- 1 sheet Aluminum foil or parchment paper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, milk, eggs, diced onion, minced garlic, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix gently with your hands or a spatula until fully combined.
On a large sheet of aluminum foil or parchment paper, spread the meat mixture out into a rectangular layer about 1/2-inch thick.
Evenly scatter the fresh spinach leaves over the surface of the meat mixture, leaving about a 1-inch border around the edges.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the spinach layer.
Using the foil or parchment paper to help, carefully roll the meat mixture into a tight spiral, starting from one of the shorter ends. Tuck in the edges as you roll to seal the filling inside.
Place the meatloaf seam-side down on a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 50-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) as measured with a meat thermometer.
Allow the meatloaf to rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing into thick rounds to reveal the spiral.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy your Spiral Meatloaf!
