A traditional meatloaf with beef and pork mince, this easy recipe makes a juicy classic meatloaf, best served with a leafy salad or creamy mashed potatoes. The meatloaf is infused with a rich smoky aroma from the Mangalitza bacon, and since it also travels well, you can also bring it along for a picnic or slice thinly for a delicious sandwich filling.
For this recipe, we would like to thank Aranka Turmezei, daughter of Hungarian/Croatian hoteliers.
