Ingredients
1.5 pounds ground beef (80/20)
1 cup breadcrumbs
2 large eggs
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup spinach (fresh or thawed frozen, squeezed dry)
6 slices provolone cheese
4 slices prosciutto
1.5 cups marinara sauce
Instructions
1. In a large bowl, mix ground beef, breadcrumbs, eggs, Parmesan, garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper until just combined.
2. On parchment paper, spread the meat mixture into a 1/2-inch thick rectangle.
3. Layer the spinach, provolone, and prosciutto over the meat, leaving a small border.
4. Carefully roll up the meatloaf from the short side, using the parchment to assist. Seal the edges.
5. Transfer to a baking dish, seam-side down. Top with marinara sauce.
6. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 45–55 minutes, or until internal temp is 160°F.
7. Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with extra sauce if desired.
Notes
Don’t overwork the meat mixture, or the meatloaf may become tough.
Allow the meatloaf to rest before slicing to maintain structure and juiciness.
