Baked meatloaf in the oven
Description
I've been using this recipe for a long time, and it's very popular in our family. You can eat it hot, serve it as a cold appetizer, or simply use it for sandwiches. This recipe is slightly different from the classic version, but the taste of the finished dish is excellent. Try making it—you won't regret it. Here's the recipe for meatloaf baked in the oven: 1. Finely chop the smoked pork fat (you can also mince it in a meat grinder). 2. Peel the onion and finely chop it. 3. Add the pork fat, kefir, onion, salt, pepper, and spices to the minced meat, then mix thoroughly. 4. Lightly grease the baking dish with vegetable oil. Don't use too much—juices will be released during cooking. 5. Place half of the meat mixture into the dish. 6. Place peeled boiled eggs in the center of the meat layer in the dish. 7. Cover with the remaining meat mixture. 8. With hands moistened with water, shape the surface of the loaf neatly. 9. Place in a preheated oven at 200°C (392°F) for about 50 minutes on the middle rack for even baking. If you're eager to taste it, you can try a piece right after baking. However, I recommend being patient and letting this loaf absorb all the juices released during baking. The meat will turn out tender and juicy.
