In a large bowl, add 2 pounds of ground beef.

Crack 2 eggs into the bowl.

Add 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1 teaspoon of paprika.

Grate 1 onion and add it to the bowl.

Finely chop 1 bunch of fresh parsley and add it in.

Mix everything well by hand.

Place 5 medium potatoes into a pot and fill it with water until the potatoes are fully submerged.

Add 1 teaspoon of salt and cover with a lid.

Cook over medium heat for 30 – 40 minutes.

Spread the seasoned ground beef onto a large sheet of parchment paper and shape it into a large, even square.

In a pan, melt 60 grams of butter over medium heat.

Grate 2 cloves of garlic and add it to the melted butter, sautéing until fragrant.

Dice 2 carrots into small cubes and add them to the pan, letting them sizzle gently.

Dice 1 red bell pepper and add it to the pan.

Dice 1 green bell pepper and add it to the pan, stirring to combine.

Sauté until the vegetables are tender and then remove the pan from the heat.

Spread the vegetable mixture evenly over the ground beef square.

Pour olive oil into a pan and finely chop 200 grams of mushrooms, adding them to the hot pan.

Fry the mushrooms until they turn golden.

Finely chop 150 grams of spinach and add it to the mushrooms, frying everything together for about 5 minutes.

Spread this mixture on top of the meat and carrots.

Grate 150 grams of Emmental cheese and sprinkle it evenly over the meat and vegetables.

Form the roll carefully using the parchment paper to guide you.

In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of ketchup, 4 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of grain Dijon mustard, and 2 tablespoons of honey until smooth.

Brush the roll with half of the marinade and wrap it tightly in foil.

Place it in a preheated oven at 360 degrees Fahrenheit and bake for 1 hour.

While the roll is baking, check the potatoes by piercing one with a knife to ensure it is soft.

Mash the potatoes until smooth and add 1 bunch of finely chopped green onions and 1 clove of finely chopped garlic.

Grate 60 grams of Parmesan cheese and add it to the potatoes along with 2 tablespoons of Philadelphia cream cheese, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of black pepper.

Mix everything thoroughly until creamy and fluffy.

When there are 10 minutes left, remove the roll from the oven, open the foil, and brush it with the remaining marinade.

Return it to the oven uncovered for another 10 minutes to get a golden crust.

Remove the roll from the oven and slice it into pieces.
