Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs Ground beef
• 0.5 lbs Ground pork
• 1 cup Breadcrumbs
• 0.25 cup Milk
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 tsp Garlic powder
• 1 tsp Onion powder
• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 1 cup Mushrooms (finely chopped)
• 1 tbsp Olive oil
• 1.5 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 2 tbsp Fresh parsley (finely chopped, optional)
• 0.5 cup Ketchup
• 1 tbsp Brown sugar
• 1 tsp White vinegar

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

Step 2

In a small skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the finely chopped mushrooms and cook for 5–7 minutes until they release their moisture and become lightly browned. Set aside to cool.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, milk, eggs, garlic powder, onion powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix until everything is evenly incorporated, but do not overmix to avoid a tough texture.

Step 4

Lay a large sheet of parchment paper or plastic wrap on your work surface. Place the meat mixture on top and press it out evenly into a rectangle about 1/2 inch thick.

Step 5

Spread the cooked mushrooms evenly over the meat rectangle, leaving a 1-inch border on all sides. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the mushrooms in an even layer.

Step 6

Using the parchment paper or plastic wrap to help, carefully roll the meat mixture into a tight log, starting from one of the shorter sides. Pinch the edges to seal the spiral and prevent filling from spilling out.

Step 7

Transfer the meatloaf to the prepared baking sheet, seam-side down. Shape it gently if needed to ensure it is smooth and uniform.

Step 8

In a small bowl, whisk together the ketchup, brown sugar, and white vinegar to make the glaze. Brush the glaze evenly over the top and sides of the meatloaf.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 55–60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) when checked with a meat thermometer.

Step 10

Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
