Equipment
- Large Bowl
- Baking sheet or loaf pan
Ingredients
Ingredients
- 500 g Lean ground beef or turkey your choice
- 100 g Shredded cheese Provolone or American
- 100 g Peppers sautéed, diced
- 100 g Onions sautéed, diced
- 2 pieces Eggs as binder
- 50 g Breadcrumbs or gluten-free alternative
- 15 ml Milk optional for moisture
- 5 g Garlic powder
- 5 g Onion powder
- 2 g Paprika optional
- 5 g Black pepper to taste
- 5 g Salt to taste
Instructions
- In a large bowl, gently mix the ground meat with sautéed peppers and onions, shredded cheese, and your chosen binders. Keep it light; use a gentle folding motion instead of squishing it all together.
- Form the mixture into a loaf shape on a lined baking sheet or in a loaf pan, aiming for an even thickness throughout.
- Bake the loaf in a preheated oven at 180°C until the outside is browned and the center feels firm when pressed.
- Near the end of cooking, top the loaf with extra cheese or fold some cheese into the top layer. Return it to the oven until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
- Let the loaf rest for a bit after cooking to allow the juices to redistribute before slicing.
Notes
Tip: Avoid overworking the meat mixture to keep the loaf tender and fluffy. Let it rest after baking for the best texture.
