How to Make Italian Meatloaf Filled With Capicola Roll

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine 1 cup breadcrumbs and 1/2 cup beef broth; let soften for 5 minutes.
  3. Add 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon dried basil, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 cup pureed sundried tomatoes and pesto (adjust seasoning to taste). Mix well.
  4. Add 1.5 lbs ground beef, 0.5 lbs ground pork, 1 large egg, and 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese. Gently combine until just mixed.
  5. Place plastic wrap on a damp counter. Spread the meat mixture into a 9x12 inch rectangle.
  6. Arrange a pre-made capicola and mozzarella roll lengthwise across the center of the meat.
  7. Carefully lift the long edges of the meat mixture over the filling using the plastic wrap, tightly rolling it into a log.
  8. Transfer the meatloaf to a large baking pan, seam-side down.
  9. Remove the plastic wrap. If desired, wrap the meatloaf with bacon slices.
  10. Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
  11. Let the meatloaf rest at room temperature for 15-20 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute.
  12. Serve with your favorite marinara sauce.
