The meatloaf, a dish prepared all over the world. In this recipe, I prepared a meatloaf stuffed with stracchino, cooked ham, zucchini, and Emmental. An idea for a main course that can satisfy different tastes at a dinner with multiple people. The name comes from the classic meatball, but because of its larger size, it’s called this way. The basic ingredients for preparation are ground meat, aromas, and spices, but it is usually stuffed in many ways. The most used meat is a mix of beef and pork, but it can also be prepared with ground chicken and turkey. Usually, the most frequent cooking method is baking, but in this recipe, it will be cooked on the stove sliced, so we can enjoy it even in the summer without turning on the oven. So you just have to try it!!
