Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds ground beef
• 0.5 pounds ground pork
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup milk
• 1 piece large egg
• 1 small yellow onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tablespoons ketchup
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
• 1.5 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1 cup spinach leaves
• 8 pieces bacon slices

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, onion, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, salt, black pepper, and parsley. Mix gently with clean hands until evenly combined.

Step 3

Lay a large piece of plastic wrap on your work surface. Spread the meat mixture over the plastic wrap in an even rectangular layer about 1/2-inch thick.

Step 4

Evenly sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the meat layer, leaving about a 1-inch border on all sides. Then arrange the spinach leaves in a single layer on top of the cheese.

Step 5

Using the plastic wrap to help, carefully roll the meat mixture into a tight log, starting from one of the shorter sides. Seal the ends of the roll to retain the fillings.

Step 6

Carefully transfer the meatloaf roll onto the prepared baking sheet, seam-side down. Remove the plastic wrap.

Step 7

Lay bacon slices over the top of the meatloaf roll, slightly overlapping each slice, and tuck the ends underneath the roll.

Step 8

Bake the meatloaf roll for 50-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C) when measured with a meat thermometer.

Step 9

If the bacon hasn’t crisped to your liking, broil for an additional 2-3 minutes at the end of baking.

Step 10

Remove the meatloaf roll from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
