Pinwheel meatloaf was one of my mom's special dinners. It's delicious ground beef rolled up with a savory soft bread stuffing.
Pinwheel Meatloaf
One of my mother’s treasured recipes.  Comfort food at it’s best.

This is a recipe my mother transformed.  Originally, she said, the filling was mashed potatoes.  She thought it would taste better with a soft-bread stuffing.  What do they say?  Mother is always right?  YEP!!

 

Mine never looks as good as my mom’s.  Her stuffing stayed relatively white.  Mine doesn’t…however, it tastes the same, and that’s what counts!!!
This is made like a jellyroll.  The ground beef is rolled into a rectangle, the stuffing is spread on top of the meat, then rolled up.  She cooked this in a “V” roasting rack so it never sat in the fat.  The use of the roasting rack is optional, of course, but I suggest using it, especially if you are watching your fat intake.

    A nice new twist on an old favorite. I’m wondering however, if the gr. beef will try to separate & break apart during the rolling process – especially since there isn’t an egg mixed into the gr. beef in order to hold it together.

      It never has for either me or my Mom. We used either 80 or 85% ground beef. If you want to add an egg, that probably wouldn’t be a bad idea and it won’t alter the taste of the final meatloaf. If you’re going to use ultra-lean beef, I’d add the egg.
