Kitchen know-how

Tips for Meatloaf with onion sauce

Keep the chips juicy

squeeze dry the soaked rolls well, but do not press completely dry. It stores moisture, while eggs and a few crumbs hold the loaves together.

Smooth, but not compact shape

Form the meatloaf with moistened hands into a uniform loaf. Strong pressure makes it dense; open cracks, on the other hand, let out a lot of meat juice.

Observe core temperature and rest time

At least 70 degrees inside, the meatloaf is safely cooked. Leave to rest for ten minutes before cutting so that the slices remain stable and juicy.

Variations

How to adapt this recipe

Place three hard-cooked, peeled eggs longitudinally in the middle of the chopper and completely enclose. When cutting, the classic visible filling is created.

Cover the moulded loaves with thin slices of bacon. Reduce additional salt and allow the surface to brown briefly.
