Ingredients

  • 2 lbs Ground beef (80/20 blend)
  • 0.5 lbs Italian sausage (mild or hot, casings removed)
  • 1 cup Breadcrumbs
  • 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
  • 0.25 cup Milk
  • 1 unit Large egg
  • 2 units Garlic cloves (minced)
  • 2 tbsp Fresh parsley (chopped)
  • 1 tsp Dried Italian seasoning
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 0.5 tsp Black pepper
  • 2 cups Fresh spinach (chopped)
  • 0.5 cup Sundried tomatoes (chopped)
  • 2 cups Mozzarella cheese (shredded or thinly sliced)
  • 1 cup Marinara sauce
  • 1 tbsp Olive oil (for cooking spinach)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, Italian sausage, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, milk, egg, minced garlic, chopped parsley, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until well combined, being careful not to overwork the mixture.

Step 3

In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped spinach and sauté for 1-2 minutes until wilted. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.

Step 4

On a large piece of parchment paper or plastic wrap, spread the meat mixture into a rectangular shape about 1/2 inch thick and approximately 10x12 inches in size.

Step 5

Layer the sautéed spinach, sundried tomatoes, and shredded or sliced mozzarella cheese evenly over the surface of the meat rectangle, leaving about an inch of space along the edges.

Step 6

Starting from one of the short sides, carefully roll the meat mixture into a log, using the parchment or plastic wrap to help guide you. Pinch and seal the edges and ends to ensure the filling stays inside.

Step 7

Transfer the meatloaf onto the prepared baking sheet, seam side down.

Step 8

Spread the marinara sauce evenly over the top of the meatloaf.

Step 9

Bake the meatloaf in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).

Step 10

Allow the meatloaf to rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Serve with additional marinara sauce on the side if desired.
