Tips:

Select the Right Rice: Choose a medium-grain rice like Arborio or Valencia for a creamy texture. Rinse the rice thoroughly before cooking to remove excess starch.
Cook the Rice Perfectly: Follow the package instructions for cooking the rice. For a tender and flavorful result, use a rice cooker or a saucepan with a tight-fitting lid.
Season the Rice: Enhance the flavor of the rice by adding herbs, spices, or vegetables during cooking. Consider adding minced garlic, chopped parsley, or a pinch of saffron for a rich taste.
Prepare the Meat Mixture: Use a combination of ground beef and pork for a moist and flavorful meatloaf. Season the mixture generously with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices. Grated onion and breadcrumbs help bind the mixture together.
Stuffing Technique: Place a sheet of plastic wrap on a flat surface. Spread out the meat mixture into a thin rectangle, leaving a border around the edges. Spoon the cooked rice evenly over the meat, leaving a small border. Roll up the meatloaf tightly, using the plastic wrap to help you achieve a compact shape. Secure the ends with toothpicks or butcher's twine.
Cooking the Meatloaf: Place the stuffed meatloaf seam-side down in a greased baking dish. Bake in a preheated oven according to the recipe instructions. To prevent dryness, cover the meatloaf with foil during the initial cooking time, then uncover for the last 15-20 minutes to brown the top.
Glaze and Sauces: Consider brushing the meatloaf with a glaze or sauce during the last 15 minutes of baking. This adds flavor and color to the crust. Popular options include ketchup-based glazes, barbecue sauce, or a simple mixture of honey and Dijon mustard.
