Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds Ground beef
• 0.5 pounds Italian sausage
• 1 cup Breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.25 cup Milk
• 3 Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 6 ounces Capicola, thinly sliced
• 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 1 cup Marinara sauce

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, Italian sausage, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, eggs, milk, minced garlic, parsley, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until all ingredients are evenly incorporated, being careful not to overwork the meat mixture.

Step 3

On a piece of parchment paper or plastic wrap, flatten the meat mixture into a rectangular shape, approximately 10x12 inches in size.

Step 4

Layer the capicola slices evenly over the surface of the meat rectangle, leaving a small border around the edges.

Step 5

Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the capicola layer.

Step 6

Using the parchment paper or plastic wrap to guide you, carefully roll the meat mixture into a log, starting from one of the shorter sides. Pinch the seams and ends to seal the meatloaf roll tightly.

Step 7

Transfer the meatloaf roll seam-side down onto the prepared baking sheet.

Step 8

Spread the marinara sauce evenly over the top of the meatloaf.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the meatloaf reaches 160°F (71°C).

Step 10

Allow the meatloaf to rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. Pair with your favorite side dishes like roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
