Description
A savory meatloaf filled with cheese and herbs, baked until firm.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs ground beef
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 oz mozzarella cheese, sliced
- 2 oz provolone cheese, shredded
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking pan.
- In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, Parmesan cheese, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined; do not overmix.
- Divide the meat mixture in half. On a sheet of wax paper, press one half into a rectangle about 1/2 inch thick.
- Layer the mozzarella slices over the meat rectangle, leaving a 1-inch border on all sides. Sprinkle the provolone and parsley over the mozzarella.
- Carefully roll the meat mixture around the filling to form a loaf shape. Pinch the seams closed.
- Place the remaining half of the meat mixture on top of the rolled loaf and shape it to completely enclose the filling. Place the loaf in the prepared baking pan.
- Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees F (71 degrees C).
- Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- You can substitute ground turkey or a mix of beef and pork for the ground beef.
- If you prefer a glaze, mix 1/2 cup ketchup with 2 tablespoons brown sugar and spread it over the top during the last 15 minutes of baking.
