Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground beef
- 250 grams Ground pork
- 100 grams Breadcrumbs
- 50 grams Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 medium Onion, finely diced
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 120 ml Milk
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 600 grams Mashed potatoes (for frosting)
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
- 100 grams Ketchup (optional for layering)
- 1 tablespoon Butter (for greasing)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a round 8-inch springform pan with butter and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, eggs, diced onion, minced garlic, milk, salt, pepper, and dried oregano. Mix well using your hands until fully combined.
Transfer the meat mixture into the prepared springform pan. Press it down evenly into a flat, compact layer for even cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40–45 minutes, or until the interior reaches an internal temperature of 70°C (160°F). If using ketchup, spread it on top of the meat cake during the last 10 minutes of baking.
While the meat cake is baking, prepare the mashed potatoes if not already made. Ensure they are smooth and creamy for easy spreading.
Once the meat cake is done, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes. Carefully remove the springform pan ring.
Frost the meat cake with the mashed potatoes, spreading them evenly over the top and around the sides using a spatula.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a decorative touch.
Slice and serve warm. Enjoy!
