  • Mix the ground beef with the onion, garlic, cumin, thyme, raisins, cranberries, walnuts, almonds, bread crumbs, eggs, and parsley in a bowl; mix to combine. Pour in ½ jar of Hunt’s® Homemade Recipe tomato and basil sauce (680 g) until you achieve a homogeneous consistency. Season with salt and pepper. Mix and set aside.
  • On a flat surface, place sheets of cling film; on these sheets, add the meat mixture and flatten it with clean hands to form a rectangle, fill with manchego cheese, and roll it up using the plastic. Squeeze to prevent the meatloaf from falling apart and freeze for 30 minutes or until firm.
  • Preheat the oven to 180 °C.
  • Place the meat roll in a baking dish, cover with the remaining Hunt’s® Homemade Recipe tomato and basil sauce (680 g), cover with aluminum foil, and bake at 180 °C for 35 minutes or until the meat is tender. Uncover the meatloaf and sprinkle with manchego cheese. Bake again for 15 minutes or until the cheese is golden.
  • Slice the Christmas meatloaf, serve, and accompany with mashed potatoes.
