Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 1 lb | Ground beef round |
| 2 | Eggs |
| 1 | Onion |
| 1 | Green bell pepper |
| 1 | Cup mushrooms |
| 1 | Teaspoon garlic powder |
| 1/4 cup | Parmesan cheese |
| 1/4 cup | Spinach |
| 1/4 cup | Deli ham |
| 1/4 cup | Swiss cheese |
Instructions:
-
Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F. -
-
Prepare Pan:
Lightly grease a shallow roasting pan to prevent sticking. -
Cook Rice:
Follow the instructions on the instant rice package to prepare it. Set aside once cooked. -
Mix Meat Mixture:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground sirloin, ground round, eggs, chopped onion, green pepper, mushrooms, and cooked rice. Season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed. -
Prepare Meat Base:
Lay out sheets of wax paper on a clean countertop, each about 1 1/2 feet long by 1 foot wide. Place the meat mixture on the wax paper and flatten it into a large square, approximately 1/2 inch thick. The thinner, the better for easier rolling. -
Layer Ingredients:
Sprinkle the meat mixture with additional garlic powder. Layer with parmesan cheese, spinach leaves, deli ham, salami, and Swiss cheese. -
Roll Meatloaf:
Using the wax paper as a guide, tightly roll the meat mixture into a loaf, removing the wax paper as you go. Tuck the open ends into the meatloaf itself to seal in the filling. -
Shape and Transfer:
With lightly oiled hands, shape the rolled meatloaf into a uniform loaf shape. Lift the loaf using the wax paper and transfer it to the prepared roasting pan. Gently slide out the wax paper from underneath the loaf. -
Bake:
Place the meatloaf in the preheated oven and bake for 1 hour and 10 minutes, or until the meat is thoroughly cooked and the juices run clear. -
Cool and Serve:
Allow the meatloaf to cool for 15 minutes before slicing and serving. This waiting period allows the flavors to meld together and makes slicing easier.
