Juicy meatloaf is an excellent alternative to industrial sausages, ham, and boiled pork. It always looks great on the holiday table, and adds variety to the everyday menu.

Cooking a delicious meatloaf in the oven is not only not difficult, but also very interesting: by coming up with options for fillings, you can get a new delight every time.

If we talk about the basic recipe, then there are three of them: you can cook from a whole, chopped piece of meat, from finely chopped pulp or from minced meat. When prepared from a single piece, the roll turns out juicy and is easy to cut. But it takes quite a long time to prepare, and choosing a suitable whole piece is not always easy. It cooks quickly, but it is very easy to dry it out.

The golden mean for me and my family is a finely chopped meat roll. Small-sized pieces are quickly brought to readiness, while remaining filled with appetizing juice, and when cut we get a very beautiful dish, reminiscent of a piece of ham.

As for the part of the carcass for making the roll, the best choice is meat that is itself quite soft and not entirely lean (for example, sirloin). Thanks to the fat contained in the meat, the roll will be juicy. Plus, to ensure your meatloaf is never dry, you don't need to cook it for long - just bake it for just 30 minutes, then leave it in the closed oven to cool completely.

Cooking time: 50 minutes plus time to cool in the oven

Ingredients

  • 800-900 grams of pork (any assortment is possible)
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 carrot
  • 100 grams of hard cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • salt, pepper, spices - to taste

You will also need 1-1.5 tbsp. spoons of flour.

Preparation

    First, finely chop the meat, washed and dried with paper towels. The pieces should be about a centimeter in size. Some may think that it is very time-consuming and tedious to cut meat by hand when you can simply grind it in a meat grinder. But this work will only take you 5-7 minutes, provided that you sharpen the knife well. And the pie will turn out more textured than if you make it from minced meat! However, if even 5 minutes is too much, make minced meat.

    Place the chopped meat in a bowl, season generously with salt and pepper and seasonings. The set of spices can be very different - it all depends on your personal preferences. I used a packet of ready-made assorted meat seasonings.

    Then add the eggs to the meat and mix the minced meat thoroughly.

    Add flour to the meat. It is the eggs and flour that will help the meatloaf hold together and not fall apart when cutting.

    For the filling, grate the cheese and carrots on a fine grater.

    Pass the garlic through a press and combine it with cheese and carrots, stirring until the mixture is homogeneous.

    Tear off a long piece of foil and fold it in half. A double layer of foil will hold the roll securely and it will retain its shape.
    Place the meat mixture on the foil and spread it into a layer 1.5-2 cm thick, moving slightly from the edges.

    Place the filling on top.

    Carefully wrap the roll so that the filling is inside. It is very convenient to use a sushi mat for this purpose. Try to wrap the meatloaf as tightly as possible. Then tuck the sides of the foil under.

    Next, you need to wrap the roll in another piece of foil so that there are no gaps anywhere through which the meat or filling could escape during baking. As a result, you should get a dense sausage.

    Place the meatloaf in the oven preheated to 200 degrees and bake it for 30 minutes, then turn off the oven and leave the meatloaf in it until it cools completely.

    Before serving, cut the dish into 1 cm thick slices. Serve it with herbs, vegetables and fresh bread. Bon appetit!

Modern meatloaves are an invention of European cuisine with French roots.

Although the slice of meat in which the filling is wrapped was mentioned much earlier, in the cooking recipes of Ancient Rome. The dish has become so popular that it has taken root in the kitchens of many housewives.

It is prepared on weekdays for breakfast, dinner, lunch or treated to guests at the festive table. Rolls are made from both minced meat and a whole piece. What is turkey, pork, chicken, and beef used for? Products are prepared in different shapes and sizes, from small rolls fried in a frying pan to large “bricks” baked in the oven. For the filling, use any product - hard-boiled eggs, mushrooms, cheese, herbs, boiled carrots, pasta.

Meatloaf - food preparation

The roll is quite simple to prepare. If it is made from a single piece, a slice or layer of meat is beaten with a kitchen hammer, rubbed with salt and spices and rolled into a sausage. To fix the shape, the roll is wrapped with thread and then baked.

Chopped meat is made in the same way as for cutlets - mixed with a soaked piece of roll or white bread, onions, raw eggs, salt and pepper are added. Knead well, lay out half of the minced meat in the form of a rectangle, in the center of which boiled eggs are placed in a row. Cover with the other half of the minced meat, seal the edges, forming a roll. To prevent it from bursting during baking and for steam to escape freely, make several punctures on top with a fork or knife.

Recipe 1: Minced meatloaf

From minced meat you can make not only meatballs or cutlets, but also such a tasty and original egg roll. If you boil the eggs in advance and mince the meat, you can quickly cook it for dinner. Children especially like this roll.

Ingredients: 1 kg of minced meat (preferably pork and beef), 2 slices of white bread, 4 hard-boiled eggs, 2 onions, 150g of cheese, salt, herbs, black pepper.

Cooking method

Soak the bread in water or milk and squeeze. Grate or finely chop the onion. Mix everything with the minced meat, add salt and pepper and not only knead thoroughly, but also beat for a couple of minutes so that the meat fibers adhere well to each other. The minced meat must be lifted and with a little effort plopped back into the bowl.

Place foil on a baking sheet and place all the minced meat on it in the form of a rectangle. Sprinkle the surface with grated cheese and chopped herbs, and place the eggs in a row in the center of the minced meat. Lifting the edges of the foil, form a roll and caulk all the cracks.

Wrap the roll completely in foil, pour a little water into a baking tray and bake for fifty minutes (200C). Then open the foil and bake the roll for another fifteen minutes, until a crust appears.

Recipe 2: Meatloaf in pita bread

Another variation on the theme of lavash. This time with meatloaf. Such a simple dish that even novice cooks can prepare it. It turns out incredibly delicious.

Cooking method

Fry finely chopped onion. When the onion turns golden, add minced meat, salt and pepper and fry until done. Add mushrooms to the slightly cooled mixture. Honey mushrooms are better, they are small, you don’t even need to cut them. Instead of mushrooms, you can put olives, pickles, or do without additives altogether.

Place randomly thin slices of cheese on the pita bread, sprinkle with herbs and spread the minced meat not too thickly, wrap it in a roll. Stuff all the pita breads, place them in a mold and brush with beaten raw egg. Bake for fifteen minutes (180C). Cut the finished rolls into pieces.

Recipe 3: Pork meatloaf with omelet and mushrooms

This is not really a roll, more like rolls, because... small in size. Cut into pieces and laid out on green lettuce, they are very reminiscent of forest stumps.

Ingredients: 0.5 kg of pork (tenderloin, meat for meatballs), breadcrumbs, vegetable oil. For the omelet: 5 eggs, flour, 1 onion, herbs, salt, 150g fresh mushrooms, salt, pepper.

Prepare an omelet. Finely chop and fry the mushrooms and onions until they turn dark golden brown. Add salt and cool.

Beat the eggs, add salt, a spoon or two of flour, chopped herbs and cooled mushrooms and onions. Stir and bake omelettes. About the size of a meat chop. Their number should be equal to the number of slices of meat. Here you need to guess.

Place the omelette on a slice of meat, roll it up and secure it with toothpicks to prevent it from unrolling. Roll in breadcrumbs, dip in beaten egg, fry in plenty of oil until tender. Or fry until crusty on the stove, and finish in the oven until ready, baking for fifteen minutes (190C), covering with foil so as not to burn.

Remove the toothpicks, cut the rolls into three or four pieces, and place on lettuce leaves.

Recipe 4: Meatloaf in dough

This dish looks like a pie, but it's not a pie, it's a meat roll in dough. Which turns out beautiful, tasty and cooks quite quickly. It is better to take ready-made puff pastry.

Peel the boiled eggs and cut them in half.

Roll out the dough to form a rectangle. If the package contains two pieces of dough instead of one large one, make two small rolls. Place half of the minced meat in the middle of the layer in the shape of a small rectangle. Place the egg halves in the center. Cover with the rest of the minced meat. You should get two rectangles: one large one made of dough, and on it, in the middle, a second small one made of minced meat.

From the long sides of the dough rectangle, cut strips two centimeters wide, cutting them from the edge to the roll. This is necessary to make it convenient to wrap the roll, overlapping the strips on both sides of the minced meat. You can decorate the roll with scraps of dough. Brush it with egg and bake for 40 minutes (180C). Place the baking sheet in a preheated oven.

How to cook an original meat roll in dough

Ingredients:

  • Puff pastry – 450 gr.
  • Minced meat (ready) – 600-700 gr.
  • Onions – 1 pc.
  • Garlic – 3-4 cloves.

  2. For minced meat, first fry the garlic, onion and parsley in vegetable oil. Add to the minced meat, along with salt, seasonings, and mustard. Mix thoroughly.

There are many recipes for making meatloaf, but there are three basic ones - from a whole piece of meat, small slices, and minced meat. This can be a hot dish or a cold appetizer.
