Ingredients
- • Ground beef: 1 lb (450g)
- • Ground pork: 0.5 lb (225g)
- • Onion: 1 small, finely chopped
- • Garlic: 3 cloves, minced
- • Breadcrumbs: 0.5 cup
- • Egg: 1 large
- • Worcestershire sauce: 1 tablespoon
- • Dijon mustard: 1 tablespoon
- • Fresh parsley: 2 tablespoons, chopped
- • Salt: 1 teaspoon
- • Black pepper: 0.5 teaspoon
- • All-purpose flour: 3 cups
- • Instant yeast: 2 teaspoons
- • Warm water: 1 cup
- • Olive oil: 2 tablespoons
- • Sugar: 1 tablespoon
- • Salt: 1 teaspoon
- • Cheddar cheese: 1 cup, shredded
- • Fresh rosemary: 1 tablespoon, chopped
- • Butter: 3 tablespoons, melted
Instructions
- 1 Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 2 In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, chopped onion, minced garlic, breadcrumbs, egg, Worcestershire sauce, dijon mustard, parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
- 3 Divide the meat mixture into eight equal portions. Shape each portion into a small, compact loaf about the size of your palm. Set aside.
- 4 In another bowl, prepare the dough by mixing the flour, instant yeast, warm water, olive oil, sugar, and salt. Knead the dough until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes.
- 5 Roll out the dough on a floured surface into a large rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick. Cut into eight even sections.
- 6 Place a meatloaf portion on each dough section, then fold the dough around the meat, pinching the seams to seal. Place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- 7 Brush each roll with melted butter, then sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese and chopped rosemary.
- 8 Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and the meat is cooked through.
- 9 Allow to cool slightly before serving warm, with extra melted butter if desired.
Serving Suggestions
- • These savory stuffed meatloaf rolls are delicious on their own, but they pair wonderfully with a side of creamy mashed potatoes or a fresh green salad. For an extra indulgent touch, serve with a side of gravy or a tangy barbecue sauce for dipping. A crisp, cold beverage like a lager or a ginger ale complements the rich flavors of the rolls, making for a perfect meal. For a complete comfort food experience, consider serving alongside roasted vegetables such as carrots and Brussels sprouts, drizzled with olive oil and a pinch of sea salt. The combination of flavors and textures will make for an unforgettable dining experience.
Storage Tips
Store any leftover rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, wrap the rolls in foil and warm them in a 350°F (175°C) oven for about 10 minutes, or until heated through. For a quick option, microwave the rolls on a microwave-safe plate for 1-2 minutes, though they may lose some of their crispness. If freezing, wrap each roll individually in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe bag for up to 2 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before reheating.
