Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds Ground beef
• 0.5 pounds Ground pork
• 1 cup Breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup Milk
• 2 Large eggs
• 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Dried parsley
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 0.5 cup Ketchup
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Yellow mustard

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, milk, eggs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until fully incorporated.

Step 3

On a sheet of parchment or wax paper, pat the meat mixture into a rectangular shape about 12 inches by 10 inches.

Step 4

Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly across the surface, leaving a 1-inch border along the edges.

Step 5

Using the parchment or wax paper to assist, carefully roll the meat mixture into a tight log, starting from one of the shorter edges. Pinch the seams and ends to seal.

Step 6

Place the meatloaf seam-side down onto your prepared baking sheet or in the loaf pan.

Step 7

In a small bowl, mix together the ketchup, brown sugar, and yellow mustard to create the glaze. Spread half of the glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes. Remove the meatloaf and spread the remaining glaze over the top.

Step 9

Return the meatloaf to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).

Step 10

Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your Meatloaf Twist with your favorite side dishes!
