Italian Rolled Meatloaf

You can make this using all beef or half beef and half ground pork in place of the sausage meat, I have to say that the using the sausage meat with the ground beef is better! You can really add in any spices that you like, I prefer it with oregano, use seasoning salt for this or regular white salt

My family loved this! I doubled the recipe and put one in the freezer. We ate the first one as posted and the leftovers we chopped up and put on subs! Yummy any way you prepare it! Thanks for posting!Reply

This was fun to make and really rather easy also. It was also very moist and I even used 93% ground beef. There were couple of things I did different, one was to use bulk Italian sausage and the other was I used parchment paper to spread the meatloaf on. I’m so glad I did as I used the parchment paper to help transfer the meatloaf to the pan. I know if I tried this with the waxed paper it would have torn. No doubts in my mind as you are lifting over 3#’s of meat. The only thing I’d change the next time I made this would be to use only 4 ounces of mushrooms. Thank you for sharing your recipes.Reply
