Ingredients

• 1.5 lb Ground beef
• 0.5 lb Ground pork
• 1 cup Breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 2 Eggs
• 0.25 cup Milk
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 tbsp Flat-leaf parsley, chopped
• 1 tbsp Basil, chopped
• 2 tbsp Tomato paste
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 2 tbsp Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish or sheet with olive oil.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, eggs, milk, garlic, parsley, basil, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly with your hands or a wooden spoon until well-combined.

Step 3

Spread a large sheet of parchment paper onto a flat surface. Place the meat mixture on the parchment paper and flatten it into a 12x8-inch rectangle.

Step 4

Spread an even layer of tomato paste across the surface of the meat. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the tomato paste, ensuring even coverage.

Step 5

Using the parchment paper as a guide, carefully roll the meat mixture from one short end to the other, forming a tight log. Pinch the seams and ends to seal the roll.

Step 6

Transfer the meat roll, seam side down, to the prepared baking dish. Drizzle the olive oil over the top to help it brown.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).

Step 8

Let the meat roll rest for 10 minutes after baking. Slice into 1-inch-thick pieces and serve warm. Enjoy!
