Time 2h

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 pounds ground beef
1 pound ground pork
1 medium onion, coarsely chopped
1 cup chopped mushrooms
5 cloves garlic, crushed and chopped
1 cup chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano
sea salt and ground black pepper to taste
3 eggs, beaten
2 cups chopped fresh tomatoes
5 slices multigrain bread, chopped
1 (16 ounce) package fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced
8 leaves fresh basil, or more to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Combine beef, pork, onion, mushrooms, and garlic in a large bowl. Sprinkle parsley, oregano, salt, and pepper over the mixture; mix well. Pour in eggs and add tomatoes and bread; gently combine to evenly distribute all ingredients.
  • Lay a sheet of parchment paper on the counter. Gently press meat mixture into a 14x16-inch rectangle about 1-inch thick. Place mozzarella slices and basil leaves on top in 2 rows. Leave a 3-inch border along 1 horizontal side.
  • Roll meat mixture into a loaf by lifting one side of the parchment and gently folding it over itself. Press ends and seam to seal.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until meatloaf is no longer pink in the center, about 1 hour. Remove from oven, cover with aluminum foil, and allow to rest for 15 minutes before slicing.
