Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds Ground beef
• 0.5 pounds Ground pork
• 1 cup Breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup Milk
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 cups Broccoli florets
• 4 ounces Cream cheese
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease it to prevent sticking.

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, milk, eggs, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix with your hands until everything is evenly combined and set aside.

Step 4

Blanch the broccoli florets in boiling water for 2-3 minutes until bright green and slightly tender. Drain and chop into small pieces.

Step 5

In a medium-sized bowl, mix the chopped broccoli with cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, and Parmesan cheese. Stir until well combined.

Step 6

Lay a large piece of parchment paper on your countertop. Spread the meat mixture evenly on the parchment paper, forming a rectangle about 1/2 inch thick.

Step 7

Spread the broccoli and cheese mixture evenly over the meat rectangle, leaving about 1 inch of space along the edges.

Step 8

Using the parchment paper to assist, carefully roll the meatloaf from one of the shorter ends into a tight log. Ensure the seam is pressed closed to seal the roll.

Step 9

Transfer the rolled meatloaf onto the prepared baking sheet, seam-side down. Brush the surface with olive oil for a glossy finish.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).

Step 11

Allow the meatloaf to rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Optional: garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

Step 12

Slice and serve warm with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes or a fresh salad.
