Provided by Aunt Willie

Categories     Meat

Time 1h10m

Yield 1 loaf, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 lb ground chuck
1/2 lb ground pork
1/2 lb ground turkey
1 envelope lipton's onion soup
1/2 cup very hot water
3/4 cup oatmeal
1 egg, beaten
4 tablespoons steak sauce (I use A1)
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon crushed thyme
1/2 teaspoon crushed basil
1 tablespoon flat leaf parsley, chopped (reserve 1 tsp for top of loaf)
1 bag of ready to eat baby spinach leaves
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Steps:

  • Mix the meats, soup mix, water, oatmeal, egg, steak sauce and herbs together in a large bowl.
  • Pat meat mixutre into a rectangle.
  • The meat should be about 1/2 inch thick.
  • Lay the baby spinach leaves over the meat, overlapping them to form a solid layer.
  • Sprinkle all but 1/2 cup of cheese over the spinach.

  • This can be a little tricky, but once the first roll is made, it gets easier.
  • Once rolled, pinch the ends to seal and place on a cooking sheet.
  • Sprinkle remaining cheese and reserved parsley on top.
  • Bake at 350 for 45-55 minutes.
  • Let rest for five minutes before slicing.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality ground beef for the best flavor and texture.
  • Use a variety of seasonings to create a flavorful meatloaf. Experiment with different herbs, spices, and sauces to find your favorite combination.
