A delightful twist on the classic meatloaf, packed with fresh spinach and aromatic spices for a wholesome and flavorful meal.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking from the start.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, spinach, cumin, minced garlic, basil, chopped onion, and eggs. Mix until just combined.
Avoid overmixing to keep the loaf tender.
Transfer the mixture into a baking dish and shape it into a loaf.
Press gently to ensure the loaf holds its shape.
Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C).
Use a meat thermometer for accurate doneness.
Let the loaf rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
Resting allows the juices to redistribute, making the loaf easier to slice.
