Mega meatloaf mania: A delicious twist on the classic roast
Here's an idea for a roast that you can prepare whenever you feel the need to add some variety to your home dinner menu. It's delicious, moist, perfectly seasoned, and truly satisfying. I guarantee the whole family will enjoy it!
The Mega Meatloaf, despite its name, is not the latest action movie featuring Jason Statham, but a dish that you will undoubtedly find useful. Why? Well, besides being incredibly simple to make, its size is large enough to provide meals for the entire weekend. Doesn't that sound wonderful?
So, the meatloaf or — if you prefer the professional term — Roman roast. The main star of this dish is, of course, minced meat. In this recipe, I've opted for pork, but there's nothing stopping you from using poultry, such as turkey. It's best to stick with simple ingredients like parsley, onion, and a handful of mushrooms. That's all it takes to make a delicious and nutritious meal. See how simple it is.
Mega Meatloaf: Roman roast with onions and mushrooms
Ingredients:
- 2 pounds of minced pork shoulder,
- 2 eggs,
- 5 ounces of mushrooms,
- 2 cloves of garlic,
- 1 onion,
- 1 bunch of parsley,
- 2 stale rolls,
- 3 tablespoons of breadcrumbs,

Method of preparation:
- Melt a small amount of butter in a pan. Add the diced onion, and shortly after, the chopped mushrooms. Then remove from the heat.
- Transfer the minced meat to a large bowl.
- Add the chopped parsley, rolls soaked in water and squeezed, garlic cloves pressed through a garlic press, and the previously sautéed ingredients.
- Add 2 eggs, season with salt and pepper, and mix everything thoroughly.
- Form the mixture into a roll. You can also divide it into 2-3 parts to make smaller roasts.
- Place on a greased baking tray and put it in a preheated oven at 210°C. Remove after about 60 minutes.
- In the meantime, you might consider adding potatoes to the roast. Then, it’s nearly a complete meal done in one go. Enjoy your meal!
