Dive into a delicious and healthy meal with our Keto Stuffed Meatloaf with Spinach, Goat Cheese, and Herbs.

Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, eggs, finely chopped onions, tomato paste, red pepper flakes, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Heat a small amount of oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced medium onion and minced garlic. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes, until the onion is translucent and the garlic is fragrant.
- Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and cook for another 2-3 minutes, just until the spinach is wilted. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
- In a separate bowl, combine the sautéed spinach mixture with the crumbled goat cheese and chopped rosemary. Mix well.
- On a piece of parchment paper or wax paper, spread the meatloaf mixture into a large, flat rectangle, about 1/2 inch thick.
- Evenly distribute the spinach and goat cheese filling over the meatloaf mixture, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Carefully roll the meatloaf mixture, starting from one of the shorter ends, into a tight log, encasing the filling inside.
- Transfer the rolled meatloaf to a greased baking dish, seam-side down.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the meatloaf is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
- Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for about 10 minutes before slicing. Resting will help retain the juices inside the meatloaf.
- Slice the meatloaf into thick slices and serve warm.
