Ingredients

• 2 pounds Ground beef (80/20 mix)
• 0.5 pounds Ground pork
• 1 cup Breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup Milk
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 medium Yellow onion, finely diced
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 0.25 cup Ketchup
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1.5 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 2 cups Fresh spinach leaves
• 2 tablespoons Parsley, finely chopped (for garnish)
• 1 sheet Aluminum foil or parchment paper

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, milk, eggs, diced onion, minced garlic, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix gently with your hands or a spatula until fully combined.

Step 3

On a large sheet of aluminum foil or parchment paper, spread the meat mixture out into a rectangular layer about 1/2-inch thick.

Step 4

Evenly scatter the fresh spinach leaves over the surface of the meat mixture, leaving about a 1-inch border around the edges.

Step 5

Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the spinach layer.

Step 6

Using the foil or parchment paper to help, carefully roll the meat mixture into a tight spiral, starting from one of the shorter ends. Tuck in the edges as you roll to seal the filling inside.

Step 7

Place the meatloaf seam-side down on a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for about 50-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) as measured with a meat thermometer.

Step 9

Allow the meatloaf to rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing into thick rounds to reveal the spiral.

Step 10

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy your Spiral Meatloaf!
