Bread is not only made from flour, but also from meat - a vivid example of this, made from minced meat. In fact, meatloaf is a dish that is something in between and sausage. Many still remember how in Soviet times they sold delicious meat loaves in grocery stores. Today, too, you can buy them, that's just not the same quality. But this is not a reason to completely abandon this delicious meat dish.
The dish got its name meat bread as a result of its external similarity - a rectangular shape, to an ordinary loaf of bread, and since, in addition to a long loaf or other type of bakery products, it also includes meat (minced meat), the bread was called meat.
Minced meat bread in the oven is widespread in European countries. In England, minced meat is called meatloaf. There are a lot of meatloaf recipes. Often cheese, mushrooms, liver, boiled quail eggs are added to its composition.

Meatloaf in the oven - recipe
Cooking meatloaf in the oven begins with mixing three types of minced meat in one bowl.
Soak slices of white bread or loaf in milk for 5-10 minutes, depending on the degree of its callousness. Squeeze out the bread (loaf). Pass it through a meat grinder.
Peel the onion and also scroll through the meat grinder.
Combine minced meat, bread and onion in one bowl. As you can see, the principle of cooking meatloaf in the oven at this stage is very similar to cooking.
Beat in one egg for the viscosity of minced meat with bread.
For the taste and aroma of meat loaf, add black ground pepper and salt. Other spices can be used in place of black pepper if desired.
Mix all the ingredients of meatloaf in the oven thoroughly with your hands until a mass of a homogeneous consistency is obtained.
You can use a mold for baking meat loaf both from ceramics and from porcelain, glass or silicone. In this case, a rectangular shape is most often used, approximately the same as for baking bread. I used a silicone mold.
Put the mincemeat for meatloaf in a mold, tamping it tightly with your hands. In order for the product to acquire a beautiful fried and golden crust, brush the meat loaf with ketchup or tomato sauce with a culinary brush.
Bake in the oven at 180C. Ready meat loaf will rise slightly in volume and will be covered with a beautifully dark red crust.
Take it out of the mold and put it on a flat plate. Only after cooling the meat loaf should be cut. Thus, slices of bread from meat will not crumble and fall apart. Minced meat loaf just like other meat dishes, they are served in addition to side dishes and salads.
