Italian Meatloaf Recipe - Your Family Will Love This Twist On A Classic

I’ve never been a fan of meatloaf, not really my thing. But this is a different story!

This Italian Meatloaf Wrapped in Pancetta is a dish that is sure to please any Italian food lover. The Italian meatloaf is made with a mix of beef and pork, some vegetables and a few secret ingredients keeping it juicy and super tasty. It is then wrapped in pancetta and cooked until it is super juicy and crispy on the outside.

This version a little like an arancini whereby it contains a small piece of mozzarella cheese that oozes out from the centre. This recipe is sure to become a family favourite for both meatloaf lovers and otherwise. Perfect for the festive season and to impress your guests!

I like it with buttery roasted potatoes and green vegetables like green beans or asparagus. But you could also serve it with a salad.

Enjoy Italian Meatloaf or polpettone Wrapped in Pancetta with your friends and family today!

Just came across your video. You have to be a chef to create such a video that makes you say that's extraordinary! I couldn't take my eyes off of every step of your cooking process. My thoughts were is there a restaurant that makes this. This recipe will be at the forefront of my recipe of recipes. It wasn't complicated, but elegant, and also what a beautiful-looking dog.

Excellent culinary art, my dear friend Joel. You really are (The King 👑 Chef) a big hug to (Whiskey) as adorable as ever.

Not what what I enjoy more, your cooking or your camera work.

Unbelievable 🎉! I can’t wait to try this! Thank You

OK, I just learned something...I did not know I was cooking this style of meatloaf for over 40 years!! The only thing I have done different in the past is I have added finely chopped green pepper and red onion...not too much but just enough to get a hint of the flavor...oh, and herbs de Provence, just a pinch or two. Got to have garlic mashed potatoes with finely sliced shallots that have been cooked in hot avocado oil, just long enough to a golden brown and placed on top. And, and a good bottle of Chiante. The video presentation was an A+. Oh, I forgot the Italian baguette. Frank, the old half German dude from NC.

Whiskey's such a good dog. Always.
