Ingredients

• 2 pounds Ground beef
• 0.5 pounds Ground pork
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 cup Breadcrumbs
• 0.25 cup Milk
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 4 cups Baby spinach
• 4 ounces Cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 0.25 cup Ketchup
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easier removal.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, ground pork, eggs, breadcrumbs, milk, Parmesan cheese, onion, garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated. Set aside.

Step 3

In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the spinach until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix the cooked spinach with cream cheese and shredded mozzarella cheese. Stir until combined and set aside.

Step 5

Take about two-thirds of the meat mixture and press it into the prepared loaf pan, creating a well in the center while leaving some meat around the edges.

Step 6

Spoon the spinach-cheese mixture into the well, spreading it out evenly. Cover the spinach mixture with the remaining meat mixture, pressing gently to seal the edges and enclose the filling.

Step 7

In a small bowl, mix ketchup and Worcestershire sauce. Spread this mixture evenly over the top of the meatloaf for a flavorful glaze.

Step 8

Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 55-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the meatloaf reaches 160°F (71°C).

Step 9

Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy!
