How to Make Awesome Pan De Carne Paraguayan Meat Loaf

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, thoroughly combine all ingredients (except optional additions) until well mixed.
  3. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  4. Spread the meat mixture evenly onto the foil, forming a rectangular shape.
  5. Arrange shredded carrots, chopped bell peppers, and sliced hard-boiled eggs lengthwise down the center of the meat mixture.
  6. Carefully roll the meat mixture tightly around the vegetables, tucking in the ends and sealing the seam to create a log shape.
  7. Use the foil to completely enclose the meatloaf, crimping the edges to seal tightly.
  8. Place the foil-wrapped meatloaf onto the prepared baking sheet.
  9. Bake for 45 minutes.
  10. Carefully open the foil slightly and continue baking for another 15-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C). Basting with pan juices halfway through is recommended.
  11. Remove from oven and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
