Ingredients

Tomato Topping:

  • 1 (8-ounce) can tomato sauce
  • 1 (6-ounce) can tomato paste
  • 1/4 cup sugar substitute (recommended: Splenda)
  • 2 teaspoons white vinegar or water
  • 2 pounds ground chuck (may use meat loaf mix with ground pork)
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan
  • 1/4 cup red onion, diced small
  • 1/4 cup roasted or fresh red bell peppers, diced
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 pound prosciutto, or any type of ham, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 pound provolone cheese, sliced

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

In a small bowl, mix together the tomato topping ingredients. Set aside. You may add a few drops of water to thin to a ketchup consistency.

In a large bowl, mix together the beef, eggs, Parmesan, vegetables, herbs, and seasonings.

Working on a waxed paper lined sheet pan or counter, form meatloaf mix into a 10 by 8-inch flat rectangle on the waxed paper. Place a layer of prosciutto slices on top, followed by a layer of provolone slices. Roll up the stuffed meatloaf mix like a burrito and seal the edges all around by pinching the meat.

Place the roll, seam side down, into a 5 by 9-inch loaf pan. Spread a heavy coat of the tomato topping to completely cover the top of the meatloaf. Place in oven and bake for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the temperature on a meat thermometer registers 165 degrees F. Drain fat and let rest at least 10 minutes before slicing.

    My Husband's new favorite

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    I am not a meatloaf person but this had great flavor and was really moist. I loved the prosciutto and provolone in the... middle, and it was a good surprise for my husband. Read more

    Very Good!!

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    First had this meat loaf at the Havanna Club in The Villages, Fl where Mr. Stella is now the chef. It was the best my husband... and I had ever had. It has now become one of our favorite dishes and we didn't change a thing in the recipe when we made it at home in Virginia. Read more

    Good but greasy

    Rated: 4 stars out of 5
    Modifications: sauteed the veggies first (for better texture); omitted splenda, prosciutto, and provolone; used drained,... crushed tomatoes instead of sauce and paste The flavour: excellent but a little too rich Difficulty level: Very easy Recommendations: use a turkey baster to get out the 1.5 C of grease which will come out of the meatloaf (floating on the top and sides); doing so will not affect how moist it is hot or as cold or reheated leftovers I plan to make it again tonight, though with ground turkey. It was too rich for my taste buds, and that is without the prosciutto or provolone!Read more

    My secret specialty!

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    All my friends and family think I'm a genius! I can't make this recipe without at least a half-dozen people showing up. I... literally haven't had any leftover since the first time I made it, and I've made it at least a dozen times!Read more

    Good, but TOO beefed up

    Rated: 4 stars out of 5
    I thought the meatloaf was good. It was easy to make. However, if I make it again, I wouldn't use the prosciutto and... mozzarella inside the meatloaf. It was just TOO much.Read more

    This is the 1st time I've made a meatloaf that I loved. The rest of them have always lacked something. And it's low carb -... Loved it.Read more
