Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds ground beef
• 0.5 pounds ground pork
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup milk
• 1 large egg
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1.5 teaspoons sweet paprika
• 0.5 teaspoons ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 3 large hard-boiled eggs
• 0.5 cup pitted green olives, chopped
• 0.5 cup roasted red peppers, sliced
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 tablespoons olive oil

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, minced garlic, paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix well with your hands or a spoon until evenly combined.

Step 3

On a clean surface, lay out a large piece of parchment paper or plastic wrap. Transfer the meat mixture onto it and flatten it into a rectangular shape, about 1/2 inch thick.

Step 4

Place the hard-boiled eggs in a line across the center of the rectangle. Top with the chopped olives, roasted red peppers, and chopped parsley.

Step 5

Carefully roll the meat mixture around the filling, forming a log shape. Seal the edges tightly to avoid the filling spilling out during cooking.

Step 6

If you're using a loaf pan, transfer the meatloaf to the pan. Otherwise, place the meatloaf on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 7

Mix the tomato paste with olive oil in a small bowl. Brush this mixture over the top of the meatloaf for a shiny glaze that adds extra flavor.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Once cooked, remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This helps retain its shape and juices.

Step 10

Slice and serve warm. Pair with a side of roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
