Ingredients

• 900 g Ground beef
• 300 g Ground pork
• 100 g Breadcrumbs
• 120 ml Milk
• 5 large Eggs
• 2 medium White onion
• 200 g Mushrooms
• 2 medium Garlic cloves
• 10 g Fresh dill
• 1 tsp Paprika
• 2 tsp Salt
• 1 tsp Ground black pepper
• 2 tbsp Sunflower or vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a large baking tray with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a small bowl, soak the breadcrumbs in milk and set aside to absorb.

Step 3

Bring water to a boil in a medium-sized pot and boil 3 eggs for 10-12 minutes until hard-boiled. Once done, cool them in ice water, peel, and set aside.

Step 4

Finely dice one onion, the garlic cloves, and the mushrooms. In a skillet over medium heat, warm the vegetable oil and sauté the onions for 3-4 minutes until translucent.

Step 5

Add the mushrooms and garlic to the skillet and cook for another 5 minutes until the mushrooms release their juices and are fully cooked. Season lightly with salt and pepper, then let the mixture cool.

Step 6

In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, soaked breadcrumbs, 2 raw eggs, dill, paprika, salt, and ground black pepper. Mix thoroughly with your hands until well combined.

Step 7

On a clean surface or a sheet of parchment paper, spread the meat mixture into a large rectangular shape, approximately 1 cm (1/2 inch) thick.

Step 8

Spread the cooled mushroom mixture evenly over the meat, leaving about 2 cm (1 inch) around the edges. Place the hard-boiled eggs in a horizontal line about 1/3 of the way from one edge.

Step 9

Carefully roll the meat mixture around the filling like a jelly roll, starting from the edge where the eggs are placed. Seal the edges and ends tightly to enclose the filling completely.

Step 10

Transfer the meatloaf seam-side down to the prepared baking tray and shape it firmly into a loaf.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 70-75 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 70°C (160°F).

Step 12

Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with additional dill if desired. Serve warm with a side of mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables.
