Ingredients
  

meatloaf
  • 2 lb ground beef
  • 0.5 cup breadcrumbs
  • 0.333 cup parmesan, grated
  • 2 eggs (for meatloaf)
  • 3 clove garlic, minced
  • 0.25 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste
filling
  • 4 hard-boiled eggs, peeled
  • 4 oz sliced salami or prosciutto
  • 1 cup fresh spinach, wilted
  • 0.5 cup provolone, shredded
  • 1 cup marinara sauce for serving

Equipment

  • 1 sheet pan

Method
 

Preheat and mix the meatloaf
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  2. In a bowl, mix ground beef, breadcrumbs, parmesan, eggs, garlic, parsley, oregano, salt, and pepper until combined.
Assemble the rolled, stuffed loaf
  1. On a large sheet of plastic wrap, press the meat mixture into a 10x12 inch rectangle.
  2. Layer salami, wilted spinach, and provolone over the meat, leaving a 1-inch border.
  3. Place the hard-boiled eggs in a row down the center.
  4. Using the plastic wrap, roll the meatloaf tightly around the filling, sealing the ends, then place seam-side down in a baking dish.
Bake, rest, and serve
  1. Bake at 350°F for 60–70 minutes, until the center reaches 160°F.
  2. Rest the Sicilian meatloaf for 10 minutes before slicing carefully.
  3. Serve with warmed marinara sauce drizzled over the slices.

Notes

For the neatest spiral slices, keep the roll seam-side down and use a sharp knife to cut straight down after the 10-minute rest. Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container up to 3–4 days; freeze (sliced or whole) up to 2 months. To make it gluten-free, swap breadcrumbs for gluten-free breadcrumbs and keep the rest unchanged.
