Using your hands, press down to form an even layer.   Evenly spread the stuffing on top of the layer you have just formed.

Cut parchment paper to the same size as the pan.  Spray one side with cooking oil, then begin adding the rest of the meat and bulgur mix to form an even layer.

Again, use your hands to press down and form.

Take this layer and flip it onto the stuffing.  Gently peel off the parchment paper.   Wet your hands and smooth out this top layer.

Wet a pairing knife and cut the kibbeh to form the desired shape. Cut in the center vertically and then horizontally to form diamond-shaped kibbeh.

Drizzle olive oil all over the pan. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until cooked and golden in color. Then, broil on high for about 1 to 2 minutes if needed for added crispiness.
