A classic German meatloaf made with a mix of ground beef and pork, flavored with mustard, marjoram, and onions, then baked with a savory gravy. This hearty dish is perfect for a comforting family dinner.

Ingredients

• 500 g ground beef
• 250 g ground pork
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 eggs
• 100 g breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon dried marjoram
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 500 ml beef broth
• 1 tablespoon tomato paste

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
2. In a large bowl, combine ground beef, ground pork, onion, garlic, eggs, breadcrumbs, mustard, marjoram, salt, and pepper. Mix well until evenly combined.
3. Shape the mixture into a loaf shape and place in a greased baking dish.
4. Bake for 50-60 minutes, until cooked through and browned. Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes.
5. While the meatloaf rests, make the gravy: In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour and cook for 1 minute.
6. Gradually whisk in beef broth and tomato paste. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly, until thickened. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
7. Slice the meatloaf and serve with the gravy poured over the top.

Tips

• Serve with mashed potatoes, red cabbage, or a side of steamed vegetables.
• Leftover Hackbraten makes excellent sandwiches.
• For a richer gravy, use pan drippings from the meatloaf instead of butter.
