Meatloaf - Czech Classic from Ground Meat
Meatloaf is a comforting baked dish of ground meat shared by American and Czech culinary traditions. In Czechia, it is called sekaná and made from a mixture of ground pork and beef combined with a soaked bread roll, eggs, and spices.
American meatloaf typically uses ground beef with breadcrumbs and is glazed with ketchup or tomato sauce. Both versions represent an economical and delicious home-cooked staple.
- A bread roll soaked in milk gives the meatloaf softness and helps retain moisture.
- Traditional Czech meatloaf is often stuffed with boiled eggs, which create an attractive pattern when sliced.
- Meatloaf is served warm with mashed potatoes or cold with bread and mustard as a snack.
- The ideal meat ratio is 60% pork and 40% beef for a balanced flavor.
