Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds ground beef
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 eggs
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 carrot, finely grated
- 1 green bell pepper, finely chopped
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/2 cup ketchup
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, eggs, onion, garlic, carrot, green bell pepper, shredded cheddar cheese, salt, black pepper, dried oregano, dried basil, and ketchup. Mix everything together until well combined.
- Place a sheet of parchment paper on a baking sheet. Transfer the meatloaf mixture onto the parchment paper and use your hands to shape it into a rectangle, about 1/2 inch thick.
- In a large skillet, heat some olive oil over medium heat. Add the sautéed vegetables, such as finely chopped onion, bell pepper, and carrot. Cook for about 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
- Spread the sautéed vegetables evenly over the meatloaf mixture, leaving about a 1-inch border.
- Carefully roll up the meatloaf, using the parchment paper to help you create a tight roll. Seal the ends by pinching the meatloaf together.
- Bake the meatloaf roll in the preheated oven for about 45-50 minutes, or until cooked through and golden brown on the outside.
- Remove the meatloaf roll from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into thick slices. Serve hot and enjoy!
