Recipe Overview
Overview
This stuffed meat roll is a delightful twist on traditional meatloaf, combining ground beef with a savory filling of sautéed spinach, mushrooms, and cheese.

The combination of textures—from the tender meat to the creamy potatoes—creates a satisfying meal that everyone will love. It’s a recipe that balances comfort and elegance, perfect for any occasion.

Steps & Tips
Tip: The cheese will melt nicely and hold everything together.
In a large bowl, combine 2 lb of ground beef, break in two eggs, and season with 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1 teaspoon of paprika.
Grate one onion and add it to the bowl.
Chop a bunch of parsley and add it to the mixture.
Using your hands, mix everything together until well combined.
Place five medium potatoes in a saucepan, fill with water, add 1 teaspoon of salt, cover with a lid, and cook over medium heat for about 30-40 minutes.
Lay out a sheet of parchment paper and press the ground beef mixture into a square shape.
In a frying pan, melt about a quarter stick of butter.
Grate two cloves of garlic and add them to the pan.
Fry the garlic until fragrant.
Chop 5 oz of spinach and add it to the pan.
Sauté the spinach with the garlic until wilted and cooked through.
Spread the cooked spinach evenly over the ground beef.
Drizzle olive oil into the pan.
Chop 7 oz of mushrooms.
Sauté the mushrooms in the oil until golden and cooked through.
Layer the cooked mushrooms over the spinach on the meat.
Sprinkle 5 oz of cheese over the spinach and mushrooms.
Carefully form the meat into a roll using the parchment paper to help guide it.
In a small bowl, combine 2 tbsp of ketchup, 4 tsp of soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of grain Dijon mustard, and 2 tbsp of honey.
Place the meat roll on a sheet of foil and brush it generously with the marinade.
Wrap the roll in foil.
Place it in the oven preheated to 360° F or 180° C and bake for 1 hour.
Check on the potatoes; poke them with a knife to see if they are tender.
Drain the water from the potatoes, return them to the saucepan, and add 2 fluid oz of cream, 30 g of butter, and 1 oz of grated Parmesan cheese.

Mash everything together until you have a smooth, creamy mashed potato.
10 minutes before the roll is done, take it out of the oven, open the foil, and brush it with the remaining marinade.
