Directions:

1. Prepration:

Let’s start with the preparation of Czech Meatloaf (Sekana).

1.1.

Set oven to preheat to 350°F.

2. Meatloaf Mixture:

2.1.

Sauté onion:

2.1.1. Preheat a pot on medium-high heat with 2 TBSP of frying oil and add:

1 medium onion – finely chopped

Sauté with occasional stirring until glossy (about 3 – 4 minutes).

2.1.2.

Then, take the pot off the stove and let it partially cool while proceeding with the next step.

2.2.

Bread for meatloaf:

2.2.1. Place into a medium mixing bowl:

1 burger bun – diced
¼ cup of milk

Thoroughly stir.

2.3. Complete meatloaf mixture:

Note:
It is best to process the meatloaf mixture in a kitchen food processor for a smooth texture (or with an immersion blender). If you want to avoid processing the meatloaf mixture, place it into the large mixing bowl and then, preferably by hand or using a wooden spoon, thoroughly stir until fully combined.

2.3.1. Add into the kitchen food processor (or mixing bowl):

1 LB of ground beef
1 LB of ground pork sausage
4 large eggs
3 cloves of garlic – grated
2 TSP of dry marjoram
1 TSP of paprika
1 TSP of salt
1 TSP of ground pepper
Bread for meatloaf from the previous step (including the residue of milk in apples)
Sauteed onion

Thoroughly process on high speed until a smooth paste is created (usually about 3 – 5 minutes). Or thoroughly stir until fully combined if using just a large mixing bowl.

2.3.2.

Place meatloaf mixture into a loaf pan and smooth it up with a silicone spatula to ensure the batter is compact and air bubbles are not present.

3. Roast the Czech Meatloaf Sekana:

3.1.

Roast in a preheated oven until fully cooked* (usually about 60 – 75 minutes).

3.2.

After it is fully cooked, remove it from the oven, place it on a countertop (leave it in the loaf pan), and let it sit for a couple of minutes before removing it. Optionally, let it fully cool.

4. Serving the Czech Meatloaf Sekana:

4.1.

Slice into thick slices (about ½”) based on your preferences.

4.2.

Serve warm or cold.

4.3.

Serve with mashed or boiled potatoes, dill pickle, and mustard, or make it even more special with homemade tartar sauce. Optionally, also serve as a sandwich with fresh sliced onion and mustard.

* Check with a food thermometer to make sure that you have reached the minimum recommended safe serving temperature for ground meat of 160°F.
