Austrian Meatloaf (Faschierter Braten)

@arecipe.bsky.social

Faschierter Braten is a traditional Austrian dish of ground beef and pork, often served with mashed potatoes, caramelized onion rings, and sometimes a salad. Similar versions of the dish exist almost all over Europe. German Frikadelle are formed of the same meat mixture, and they are known as Faschierte Laibchen in Austria. The Hungarians like it a bit spicier and add paprika to the meat, forming a sausage link called cevapcici.
