This classic comfort food just turned into a gourmet meal with my Mom’s {Stuffed Meatloaf}! This incredible recipe that my mom created was inspired by my grandmother and a Sicilian style meatloaf recipe.  Even if meatloaf isn’t your favorite meal…this one may have you having second thoughts!

Mom's {Stuffed Meatloaf}

My grandmother was famous for her creative cooking. She had a way of blending ingredients together and came up with magical combinations.

Growing up in Poland during a time when food was scarce and you needed to be creative, turned her into an incredible cook.  She liked adding hard boiled eggs to many dishes including, rolled up inside her meatloaf and cut in slices to add to  the layers in her lasagna.

I remember the first time I tried lasagna somewhere else and wondered why there wasn’t an egg inside of it.

Mom's Stuffed Meatloaf

My mom kept the tradition of the Surprise Inside Stuffed Meatloaf and created this amazing gourmet meatloaf. I hope you enjoy this wonderful family recipe!

What type of meat goes into Mom’s Stuffed Meatloaf?

Mom always tries to use a combination of different meats in her meatloaf. It just seams to make it more flavorful. This time she used a combination of pork and beef.

How do you stuff your meatloaf?

Stuffing meatloaf isn’t all that difficult however it can get a little messy. Basically you want to create a long rectangle with your ground meat mixture. Then layer all of your ingredients that you’re filling your meatloaf with down the center. After that just roll it up tucking the ends in on the top and bottom so nothing leaks out.

Ingredients

For the meatloaf

  • 2 Pounds Ground beef
  • 1 Pound Ground pork
  • 3 Large eggs
  • 1 Medium onion ,chopped
  • 2 cloves Garlic ,minced
  • 2-3 Tablespoons Milk
  • 1 teaspoon Dried parsley
  • 1-2 Cup Seasoned bread crumbs (start with one cup and add more as needed to hold together.)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For the filling:

  • 1-2 Carrots ,shredded
  • 1 ,6 ounce bag Baby spinach ,use just enough to line meatloaf
  • 5 Hard boiled eggs ,peeled
  • 8 ounces Grated cheese (Half mozzarella and half cheddar)
  • 5-6 Slices Thinly sliced deli ham or prosciutto
  • 1 ,16 ounce pacage Bacon (using enough to top meatloaf)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

For the meatloaf:

  • Mix all ingredients together in a large mixing bowl. (Make sure meat mixture holds together well to make it easier to roll.)
  • Place mixture onto a large piece of wax or parchment paper.
  • Flatten mixture out into a rectangle shape with hands. Approximately 12x18 to about a 1/2 inch thickness.

For the filling:

  • Sprinkle shredded carrot then the cheese over the rectangle mix. Then layer sliced ham and spinach. Place the hard boiled eggs in a row down the longest part of loaf at one edge. (This is where you will begin to roll the loaf.)
  • To roll your meatloaf, carefully lift the paper and begin to roll, tucking and sealing edges so the cheese won't melt and seep out.
  • When rolling is completed carefully transfer to a large baking sheet.
  • Smooth out any gaps with fingers and tuck edges smooth.
  • Layer bacon strips on top of loaf (she usually trims the fat off bacon) and place in oven for about one hour. Check for doneness. Remove from oven and let loaf sit for ten minutes before cutting.

    My husb always talks about his grandfather’s meatloaf with an egg in it. I’ve never given it a try. Love your recipe I may have to make it for him 🙂
