Spread the cooled spinach and mushroom mixture evenly over the meat, leaving a small border at the edges.

Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).

💡 Chef tips
- To prevent the meat from sticking while rolling, lightly oil the plastic wrap before adding the ground beef.
- You can prepare the meat roll in advance, wrap it tightly in plastic, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before baking.
- If you prefer a deeper flavor, substitute the ketchup topping with a mixture of tomato paste, brown sugar, and a splash of apple cider vinegar.
✅ How it should turn out
The finished meatloaf will have a golden-brown exterior with a moist, tender interior revealing a beautiful spiral of vibrant green spinach and earthy mushrooms in every slice.
