meat loaf with vegetables

ingredients - info minced beef minced veal pepper and salt dried thyme

Mix 2/3 pure minced beef and the same amount of minced veal. Season with pepper, salt and add dried thyme, dried parsley, onion powder and garlic paste. Mix in a few tablespoons of breadcrumbs and a beaten egg. Finally, add the drained contents of a jar of peas with carrots. But cut the carrots into smaller pieces beforehand. Take the remaining third of the minced beef and spread it out on a sheet of baking paper. The idea is to have a wide and sufficiently long layer of meat. Lay the meat and vegetable mixture in the middle and give it the shape of a roll. Fold the baking paper with the minced meat over it and press firmly. You now have a roll with the filling inside and the minced meat around it.

Without this outer layer of pure meat, there is a great risk that the vegetables lying on the surface of the mixture will burn during frying. Place the roll in a deep oven dish and, depending on its weight, put it in a preheated oven at 185°C for 30 minutes. Cover the dish and bake for another 20 minutes at the same temperature. Check the cooking with a skewer. If there is pure bloodless liquid coming out, then it is OK. The roll in the photo, weighing about 1 kg, needed almost an hour. Take the dish out of the oven. Let the roll rest for another 15 minutes before serving. On the photo: presentation with baked potatoes and a meat sauce. The vegetables are already in the roll, so you do not really need to serve any more.
