Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds Ground beef
• 0.5 pounds Ground pork
• 3 cups Breadcrumbs
• 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 0.25 cup Fresh parsley, chopped
• 2 tablespoons Fresh basil, chopped
• 2 whole Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 6 slices Prosciutto, thinly sliced
• 6 slices Provolone cheese, thinly sliced
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 cups Tomato sauce

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, chopped parsley, chopped basil, eggs, salt, and black pepper. Mix until thoroughly combined.

Step 3

Lay a large piece of parchment paper or plastic wrap on your countertop. Spread the meat mixture onto it, forming a rectangular layer approximately 1/2-inch thick.

Step 4

Layer the prosciutto slices evenly on top of the meat mixture, then layer the provolone cheese slices on top of the prosciutto.

Step 5

Using the parchment paper or plastic wrap to help, carefully roll the meat mixture into a log starting from the shorter end. Pinch the seams and ends to seal the loaf.

Step 6

Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the meatloaf on all sides until browned, about 8-10 minutes total.

Step 7

Pour the tomato sauce over the meatloaf, ensuring it is evenly coated. Cover the skillet with foil or a lid and transfer it to the preheated oven.

Step 8

Bake for 60 minutes, basting occasionally with the tomato sauce to keep the loaf moist.

Step 9

Once cooked, remove the skillet from the oven and let the loaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Step 10

Serve warm with extra tomato sauce spooned over the slices. Garnish with additional parsley or basil if desired.
