I think you will like this delicious meat loaf like in a globe. I have prepared for you a recipe according to which you will make delicious homemade baked sausage. There is no bread in this recipe, it is present only in the name. Apparently, the shape of baked meat is associated with a bread loaf, and it is because of this shape that the dish got its name. For cooking, you will need a powerful blender or fine mesh mincer and nitrite salt. I think you will like this one too.
It will take 60 minutes to cook. The ingredients in this recipe will make 5 servings.

Ingredients:

- pork - 350 gr.;
- bacon - 150 gr.;
- beef - 350 gr.;

How to cook from a photo step by step

In a frying pan, heat 25 g of butter and vegetable oil, throw finely chopped onions into the heated oil, pour 2 tablespoons of water or chicken broth, sauté the onion for 8-12 minutes until it becomes completely soft. We transfer to a plate, put in the refrigerator to cool completely.




Grind pork and bacon in a blender until smooth.




Then grind the beef until smooth.






Season the minced meat with ground red and black pepper, add nitrite salt. Instead of nitrite salt, you can take plain or sea salt. Nitrite salt is used to keep the meat pink.




Then pour ice water into the bowl.




Add the cooled fried onion and some finely chopped leeks. Turn on the blender and grind the ingredients for a few minutes until the mass turns into a homogeneous pink mince.






Put the mass in a bowl, add smoked paprika flakes, knead well with a spoon.




Lubricate the form with refined vegetable oil for frying or lard, spread the minced meat.
With a tablespoon, make a drawing on the surface. We heat the oven to a temperature of 170 degrees.




Place the mold in the middle of the preheated oven and cook for 35-40 minutes. I also prepared such a recipe for you.

Meat bread is called baked a dish of minced meat in the form of a bread "brick" - hence the name. Actually, this characteristic exhausts the similarity of all meat loaves, which can be prepared in a rather diverse way.

There is, for example, recognizable by a special baking technology (a press and a water bath are used). There are fancy meat rolls, "loafs" (meatloaf), traditional for Germany and a number of other countries. And there is a simple meat casserole: minced meat, vegetables, seasonings, mix everything, put in a mold and send to the oven.

It is such a meat casserole that we will prepare today, remembering that the choice of ingredients that suit minced meat can be very modest and incredibly rich. Ours will be fragrant and rather "hot" - spicy.

What should be considered?

• Use hot ketchup. Or tomato paste with chili sauce. Adjust the measure for yourself, but it's easier to do this with a neutral tomato paste, in which you add as much pepper as needed.
• Try small vegetable cuts - large ones will crumble in the finished product (even despite the egg), and still do not grind vegetables into dust - let the pieces feel and create an attractive "airiness" and "looseness" in the casserole.
• Russian housewives are used to adding bread soaked in water or milk to cutlets. You can act this way, or you can use crumbs or bread crumbs, as described in the instructions.
• The fat level is easy to choose when buying meat, not ready-made minced meat. But we must be prepared for the fact that dietary cuts of meat without fat layers turn out to be somewhat dry in a casserole, which is logical.

Cooking time: 20 minutes + 1 hour / Yield: 6-8 servings

Ingredients

• minced beef 500 g
• minced pork 250 g
• chopped vegetables:
  - 1 small onion
  - celery 1 rib
  - carrots 1 pc.
  - 1 clove garlic
• 1 tsp (optional)
• white loaf 2 slices (crumb)
• egg 1 piece
• tomato paste 2 tbsp l., which added:
  - a few drops of "hot" (hot) sauce
  - ¼ h. L. ground coriander or fennel or dill
• butter 1 tbsp. l. (for sautéing)
• vegetable oil 1-2 tbsp. l. (for smearing the mold)
• parsley to add to the "dough" and serve
• salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

You will also need a brick baking dish. I used a foil mold 8 x 17cm at the bottom and 6cm deep.

How to make meat bread

Preheat oven to 180 degrees.

Save vegetables. To do this, heat a frying pan, melt butter and send chopped vegetables to it - onions or white onions, carrots, celery, green onions, garlic. It is better to cut vegetables with a knife without turning the vegetables into minced meat. Saute for about 5 minutes over low heat, under the lid, until the vegetables are soft.

Season with salt and pepper, add Worcestershire sauce to it, stir, then add ketchup or 1 tbsp. l. tomato paste to which chili sauce and coriander seeds are added. Keep it on fire for another 5 minutes and turn it off.

Combine 2 minced meat, an egg, bread crumbs (ready-made bread crumbs can be used), parsley. Add the sautéed vegetables and stir well with your hands.

Grease the dish in which you will bake the meat loaf with vegetable oil. Fill the form with minced meat, distribute, leaving 1 cm in height free. Spread over the rest of the tomato paste and place in the oven for 1 hour.

Bake at 180 degrees.

The readiness of meat loaf is determined by the fact that it separates from the walls of the form, forming a "gap" between itself and the form.

And you will also learn about the readiness of the dish by a very appetizing smell!

When minced meat is in the freezer, the question of what to cook from it does not arise: most often the choice falls on cutlets or meatballs. Sometimes naval pasta is a priority. But there is a great alternative to these meat dishes that will help diversify your home menu - meat bread. Oven baked, it goes well with any side dish and is perfect for a hearty lunch or a delicious dinner with the family. Cooking it is no more difficult than cutlets, perhaps even easier. And the products that are required for such a dish can be found in any store.

What is this dish?

In essence, it is a large cutlet baked in the oven in the shape of a loaf of bread - a "brick". The dish is not difficult to prepare, but it will take a lot of time, about a couple of hours, from preparing the products to serving. It is made from minced meat, usually beef or pork. But you can take any other meat. The finished dish is cut into slices and served as such. It goes best with buckwheat porridge, rice, pasta and mashed potatoes.

Prepared according to the recipes described in the article with a photo, meat loaf also acts very well as a snack. Cut into thin slices, it can be stacked on bread to create party sandwiches. In addition to all the ingredients listed below, you can add potatoes, carrots, cereals and various vegetables that the family loves to the raw mixture. This will make the "bread" even tastier and more satisfying.

What ingredients are required to prepare a meat dish?

Additionally, you can use a wide variety of products and any minced meat, as mentioned above, even a combination of several types, for example, pork and beef. But now a certain recipe will be considered, according to which the meat turns out to be very tasty. It includes the following ingredients:

• pork tenderloin without fat - 550 g;
• beef heart - 350 g;
• bulgarian pepper - 160 g;

• ketchup or tomato paste - 2 tablespoons;
• bread crumbs - 2-3 tablespoons;
• vegetable oil - 1-2 teaspoons;

Additionally, you need aluminum foil and a baking dish. Instead of bread crumbs, you can use crushed rye or wheat bread. You can add more different savory and sweet seasonings such as provencal herbs, cumin, rosemary, mustard. Chopped dill and parsley are added if desired. Similar to adding food, you can exclude mushrooms or peppers if they are not.

Step by step cooking meat bread in the oven (recipe with photo)

The dish is prepared in several stages. When all the products are prepared, you can start creating a meat masterpiece. The process begins with cleaning and grinding the ingredients. Learn more about how this is done below.

Stage one: preparation of products

Peel the onion and garlic. Remove seeds from pepper. Cut vegetables so that they fit in a blender, and chop, turning them into puree. It is better to do minced meat yourself, because the purchased one is often too liquid, and this dish requires a dense mass. Rinse the meat and cut into pieces. Then wash the champignons, cut each mushroom into 4 pieces. Transfer to a dry frying pan, turn on high heat and wait until all the liquid has evaporated from them.

Stage two: combining minced meat with the rest of the ingredients for meat bread

Prepared meat together with champignons must be passed through a meat grinder. Add all prepared spices to this mass, mix. Then eggs, tomato paste, starch and bread crumbs are added to the minced meat. The base for the future dish is mixed well again so that the ingredients are evenly distributed.

Stage three: the formation of the "roll"

You will need a baking dish to prepare the dish. It can be anything: glass, ceramic, metal, or even silicone. The main thing is that it has the appropriate shape. After all, it depends on this factor whether the dish will look like meat bread (see the photo above).

The form must be greased with oil and put the prepared mass into it. You need to try to tamp the minced meat as well as possible so that it turns out to be dense enough. Smear the "meatball" with tomato paste. From above it is imperative to cover the meat with foil.

Stage four: baking

Before sending the form with minced meat to the oven, the oven must be heated to a high temperature. Better if it is 200-220 degrees. cook in the oven for about an hour and a half. At lower temperatures, this time will increase.

50 minutes after the start of cooking the meat, the mold must be taken out, the foil must be removed and the liquid that has been formed there must be drained. Then close again and place in the oven. Bake for about 40 more minutes until the dish is fully cooked.

Stage Five: Completion of Cooking

When the meat is ready, take it out of the oven and leave it on the table for about 20 minutes to cool down a little. Then cut it into portions. If you wish, you can decorate minced meat bread with various products, for example, olives, cheese, herbs, mayonnaise.

Other options for cooking meat dishes

There are several more recipes, but there are no fundamental differences from the cooking method described above. For example, there is a very simple option that includes pepper. It requires the following products:

• 600 g minced meat;
• 1 egg;
• 120 ml of milk;
• 1 sweet pepper;
• ½ teaspoon of paprika and salt;
• 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil;
• a pinch of allspice.

In this version of the preparation of meat bread, the greatest attention is paid to the bell pepper. It must be washed, greased with vegetable oil, put in a frying pan and baked in the oven for about 15 minutes at 180-200 degrees. Then cool the vegetable, remove the skin from it and cut it in half. Remove seeds and core, then cut into cubes.

Put the prepared minced meat in a wide bowl, add the egg, milk and pepper, and then beat with a mixer or blender. Then add salt and spices, mix. Transfer the mass to a greased form. You can also form a brick from the resulting mixture, pack it in foil and bake in this form. The oven must be heated to 200 degrees. The meat is baked for half an hour, then you need to open the edges of the foil and cook for another 20 minutes.

Another meatbread recipe combines 3 types of meat. To prepare a dish, you need to prepare:

• 450 g beef and 230 g each pork and veal mince;
• 6 strips of bacon;
• 2 eggs;
• 25 g each of butter and finely chopped parsley;
• 1 onion, finely chopped;
• 2 cloves of minced garlic
• 50 g each of bread crumbs (bread crumbs), chili sauce or ketchup and finely chopped celery;
• 30 g crushed dried basil;
• half a teaspoon each of thyme, salt and ground pepper;
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

Heat butter in a skillet over low heat, add onion, garlic and celery. Cook, stirring constantly, until vegetables are tender. It will take about 8 minutes. Put the food in a bowl, add minced meat, eggs, herbs and spices, in general, all other ingredients, except for bacon. Mix the mixture well. Transfer the minced meat to a baking dish. A special dish for baking bread is ideal. Tamp the meat, put the strips of bacon on top and send the dish to the oven. As in the previous recipes, it should be well heated, up to 200-220 degrees. The dish takes about an hour and a half to cook. It is recommended to periodically grease the top so that it does not burn. When the "bread" is ready, take it out of the oven, drain the fat and let it stand at room temperature for about 10 minutes. Cut the meat into portions and serve.

By the way, there is a completely separate Bavarian meat bread, the recipe of which KhozOboz will definitely try sometime.

In Austria, meat loaf is called Faschierter Braten, here it is wrapped in ham or bacon, just like in Denmark. It is interesting to prepare meat bread in the Czech Republic, baking boiled eggs and even gherkins inside it. By the way, boiled eggs are also placed in mitlof in Greece, Bulgaria, Hungary, Italy, Israel and many other countries. It turns out a very tasty meat bread with an egg. In the Middle East, there is also more than one recipe for meat bread, it is made from beef or lamb, and a lot of parsley is always put in the mince.

In the Philippines, meat bread is prepared in a very interesting way - it is wrapped in banana leaves and steamed there. The South African version of meat bread should also be noted. In addition to the fact that in South Africa this is almost the most popular dish for hundreds of years, dried apricots, almonds and curry are put in it. This mitlof turns out to be a little sweetish.

American meatloaf has its own characteristics. In the New World, settlers from Pennsylvania were the first to start preparing it. However, it wasn't until the end of the 19th century that mitlof first appeared in American cookbooks. And today there are so many recipes for this dish that you only have time to cook.

The benefits of meat bread

Meatbread is a dish made from minced meat that is mixed with beaten eggs (often only proteins), bread crumbs and spices. This is the so-called basic option. KhozOboz offers an improved version, so instead of bread crumbs, we will use oatmeal. And these are complex carbohydrates, antioxidants, vitamins, trace elements, fiber, proteins, etc. However, we have been told about the benefits of oatmeal from early childhood, and now we repeat this to our children. So, if children do not like oatmeal, offer them minced meat bread with the addition of oatmeal - they will surely like it.

In addition, the chicken fillet used in this recipe has a lot of useful properties. This is the most valuable part of chicken, moreover, no other meat can compete with chicken breast in terms of the amount of complete protein it contains. Moreover, as much as 92% of the protein of chicken fillet are amino acids, and the human body cannot do without them. Chicken breast meat contains not only a lot of protein, but also phosphorus, vitamins of group B, H, PP, as well as sulfur, magnesium, chromium, zinc, cobalt, etc.

However, it should be noted that meat bread, prepared in production, almost always includes various flavors and other harmful additives. In this regard, such a product is best prepared at home.

Meat bread: recipe with photo

You can make such a product in different ways. In the presented article, we decided to describe to you a couple of recipes that are most popular among gourmets.

So, to make minced meat bread, you should purchase in advance:

• beef with a small amount of fat and pork without lard - 250 g of each product;
• fresh and juicy carrots - several large pieces;
• large fresh egg - 2 pcs.;
• sweet onions - 1 pc .;
• round grain rice - full glass;
• powdered milk or potato starch - a full large spoon;
• spices, or rather ground pepper, fine salt and sweet paprika - use to taste.

Minced meat

The meat bread, the recipe for which we are considering, turns out to be very aromatic and satisfying. Before baking it in the oven, you should prepare the mixed mince. For him, beef and pork must be purchased as fresh as possible. This is the only way you get a delicious and nutritious product.

Thus, meat products should be thoroughly rinsed in cool water, and then cut off all veins from them and chopped in a meat grinder. Together with pork and beef, it is recommended to pass the onion heads through the mentioned device. At the end, all the ingredients must be salt, pepper and stir until a homogeneous minced meat is obtained.

Making the base for the bread

After the mixed minced meat is ready, you should start preparing the base. To do this, it is necessary to sort out round grain rice, and then rinse it thoroughly and boil it in salt water until it is completely soft. Next, the cereals need to be thrown into a sieve, rinsed in cold water and shaken vigorously.

Having cooked the rice, it should be laid out with the minced meat, and then add finely grated carrots, beaten fresh eggs, milk powder or potato starch there. After mixing the ingredients, you should have a viscous and aromatic base.

By the way, to make the meat loaf more reddish, sweet paprika should also be added to the prepared minced meat mass. Such a spice will give the product not only a pleasant shade, but also a special taste.

Sample product

How do you know if you end up with meat loaf tasty? To do this, make a small cutlet from the mixed base, and then lightly fry it in a pan with oil. If this product lacks salt or other spices, it is recommended to add them before the actual formation of the bread.

We form a meat product

After all the steps described, you should take a deep rectangular shape and grease it liberally with oil. Further, it is required to lay out all the meat base in it and tamp it well.

Heat treatment process

How much meat loaf should be baked? The recipe for this product recommends cooking it at a temperature of 200 degrees for an hour and a half. It should be noted that during the heat treatment of such bread, a lot of broth can form in the mold. It can be drained if necessary.

Serving correctly to the dining table

Having cooked homemade meat loaf in the oven, it should be carefully removed and completely cooled in the form. Next, the product must be removed from the dishes and kept in the refrigerator for another couple of hours. After that, sprinkle the product with sweet paprika, as well as sesame seeds. In the future, it can be cut into pieces and presented to guests along with any dish, vegetables and fresh herbs.

Cooking Bavarian meat bread at home

The principle of preparation of such a product is practically no different from what was described above. However, the presented bread includes several other ingredients, which makes it more unusual and tasty.

So, to make Bavarian meat bread, we need:

• mixed low-fat minced meat (beef and pork) - about 800 g;
• fine sea salt - 2 dessert tablespoons;
• skinless bacon (you can buy raw smoked, fresh or boiled smoked) - about 200 g;
• ground black pepper - add to taste;
• dried marjoram - dessert spoon;
• nutmeg - 3 pinches;
• bitter onion - 1 medium head;
• corn starch - about 2 large spoons;
• breadcrumbs - a large spoon;
• cooking oil - for greasing the mold;
• tomato paste or ketchup - 2 large spoons;
• cumin - apply to taste.

Making the base for the bread

Before making Bavarian bread, a flavored base should be made. To do this, you need to take the finished mixed minced meat, and then scroll it twice through a meat grinder. It is recommended to do this with bacon. By the way, for such a procedure it is necessary to use the smallest knives. This is necessary in order for the meat loaf to be as homogeneous, tender and tasty as possible.

Mixing ingredients

After the base for the bread is ready, it is required to chop the onions separately and fry them in butter until brownish. Next, add it to the minced meat, and also add fine sea salt, dried marjoram, allspice, nutmeg, corn starch, caraway seeds and tomato paste in the amount of 1 large spoon (you can use ketchup).

After a long and intensive mixing of all the products, you should get a homogeneous mass. If necessary, you can beat it off with your hands.

Formation process

Having made a tasty and aromatic base for Bavarian meat bread, you should start shaping it. To do this, you need to take a deep rectangular shape, and then generously grease it with cooking fat and sprinkle with breadcrumbs. Next, in the prepared dishes, you need to put the minced meat and tamp it well. To do this, you can knock on it with your palm or shake the dishes strongly. These actions will contribute to the fact that all the air present in the base will come out of the minced meat, making it denser. In this form, the semi-finished product should be placed in the refrigerator and kept there for about 4 hours. During this time, the product will thicken and mature.

Correct heat treatment

After the minced meat has been cured in the cold, it should be removed, and then several not very deep cuts are made on it with a knife. Further, the surface of the product must be greased with a spoon of ketchup or tomato paste, which is recommended to be mixed in advance with a small amount of starch.

Having finally prepared the semi-finished product, it should be placed in an oven preheated to 170 degrees and baked for 50 minutes. The main thing is not to overdry the product.

Serving to the table

After preparing the Bavarian minced bread, it should be cooled directly in a baking dish, and then carefully removed and kept in the cold for about two hours. After that, it must be cut into pieces and presented to the table along with any first or second course. By the way, a sandwich is very tasty from such a product. To do this, it should only be placed on white bread and covered with a piece of cheese.
