A Meatbread, fresh from the oven

Meatbread is bread with meat. Or meat with bread. Either way, it is regarded as the Orkiest of all possible meals a fa/tg/uy could consume (when did Orks learn to cultivate and process wheat for baking?) and has become somewhat popular as a snack for gaming groups who prefer something a little beefier than cheetos at their tabletop sessions.

Actually, meatbread is a part of traditional Eastern European cuisine, known in Russia as pirozhki.

The Quick-n-Dirty Procedure of Creating Meatbread

1. Get a large loaf of bread.

2. Cut off one end and empty most of the interior on a plate.

3. Stuff loaf with minced meat, sausages and other types of meat along with some of the previously removed bread.

4. If you wish add cheese, spices, mustard etc.

5. Bake.

Alternative, Much More Technical Procedure

Recipe:

• 1 pkg frozen bread dough (3 per pack)
• 1 lb extra lean ground beef
• 1 roll sausage (hot or mild)
• One 16 oz pkg. smoked sausage (hot or mild)
• 8 oz grated Mozzarella cheese
• 8 oz grated Cheddar cheese
• 1 lb chopped Velveeta Pasteurized Prepared Cheese Product
• One 3 oz jar stuffed olives, chopped
• One 4 oz can of mushrooms
• Small bunch onion tops, chopped
• Small bunch parsley, chopped
• 1 cup chopped onion
• 1/2 cup chopped bell pepper
• 2 stalks celery, chopped
• 3 tbs margarine

Cook ground beef until it is very brown, then drain. Saute bell peppers, onions, celery, onion tops and parsley. Add to ground meat. Stir in half of the chopped Velveeta cheese and set aside.

Cut roll sausage in slices, brown, and put aside. Let cool and crumble. Roll out all three loaves onto floured surface. Spread melted margarine over dough.

Divide all ingredients into three parts and layer as follows:

• ground meat mixture
• roll sausage
• smoked sausage
• olives
• mushrooms
• Cheddar cheese
• Mozzarella cheese
• Velveeta cheese

Bring bread over, folding ends first. Bake 30-35 minutes if ready to bake. If not, bake at 350F for 10 minutes or until light brown, then freeze. Defrost. Bake another 20-25 minutes or until brown. Use a bread slicer machine if you have it, in order to dish perfect slices just like the ones in the photo above.

Bite Sized Meatbreads

• One pound regular Jimmy Dean's sausage
• 2 to 4 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 cups Bisquick

(If you short anything, short the cheese as it doesn't always like to mix in. For a more white-trash version, substitute one small jar of Cheez Whiz.)

• • Submitter's note** The last time we made these, we used a full 4 cups of cheese and they came out pretty awesome. So more cheese is not bad,

provided you like cheese. Your tastes/crowd may vary.

Mix all ingredients by hand in a large bowl. Roll into 1 inch balls and space evenly on cookie sheet. Bake at 325 degrees for ~25 minutes (possibly a bit more, no more than 30) Let cool slightly, and enjoy!

Alternative, Semi-Professional method

Recipe: Bread:

• 3.5 cups bread flour (or all purpose, or wheat, or a mixture, whatever.)
• 1 Cup warm water
• 2 tsp (one packet) yeast
• 2 tsp sugar
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 egg

Combine water, sugar, and yeast, mix well and set aside.

Combine flour and melt the butter, then mix into the flour. Add the egg and mix well. Once the yeast mixture develops a head of foam, combine with flour mixture in a box, mix and knead well until the dough is springy. Dust with flour if needed to prevent sticking. Form dough into a ball and lightly grease it to prevent drying, let stand 1 hour in a warm place to rise.

Meat Filling

• 1 lb extra lean ground beef
• 0.5lb sausage of your choice
• 6 strips of thick cut bacon.
• 8 oz grated Mozzarella cheese
• 8 oz grated Cheddar cheese
• 1 medium onion, chopped.

Brown the beef, and sausage in a pan, and drain the grease into a container. Save this. Cook the bacon, save the grease from that as well, mix with the previous grease. Use a teaspoon of the drippings to caramelize the onions. Set mixture aside.

Gravy

• 2 Beef Bullion Cubes
• 1.5 cups water, boiling.
• 2-3 tablespoons of all purpose flour
• 3 tablespoons drippings from meat
• Salt
• Pepper
• Oregano (optional)
• Sage (optional)

Place the 3 tablespoons of grease in a small pot, and heat it up. Gradually add the flour, using a whisk to constantly stir the mixture until it is a paste-like consistency. Add more flour if needed to get this consistency. Allow the roux you made to brown while you prepare the bullion cubes to make a strong beef broth, stir the roux occasionally. When the roux has reached a lightly browned color, gradually add the broth until a desired consistency of gravy is reached. Add salt, pepper, and spices to taste. Set aside to cool while the bread rises.

Once the bread has risen, beat down the dough and cut into fourths. Roll the dough into a flat sheet and place it in a pie tin or high-walled bread pan, press it to the walls of the pan and leave a little hanging over the lip.

Make sure this layer of dough is fairly thick (about 1/4 to 1/3 an inch), or else your meatbread will collapse under its own weight.

Mix the gravy into the cooked meat mixture until it coats everything well. Add more if you wish, but it can get messy. Place a layer of the meat and gravy mix on the bottom of the pan and lightly sprinkle with cheese.

Now, take some more dough, and roll it flat, Cut to only just fit inside the pan. You will be layering bread, meat, cheese, and bread repeatedly.

Continue until the pan is full, then fold over the hanging lips of the lowest layer and pinch to seal around the entire loaf. Stab the loaf 4-6 times all the way through for gas release holes. Let this sit for 45 minutes so the dough expands again, then place in the oven at 375 and bake for 25~ minutes.

Lazy Southern-Style method

For the lazy shit that wants something that tastes good, and doesn't mind waiting for it, but isn't willing to spend hours manually slaving away to put the fucker together.

Shit you're gonna need:

• Meat of choice (preferably ground or shredded, but cut into very small pieces will also work)
• Cornbread mix (these instructions assume Jiffy, but any mix will work as long as it's essentially a liquid that turns into bread in the oven; it doesn't even necessarily have to be cornbread)
• Whatever other stuff your cornbread mix asks you for

How to cook it:

• Cook your meat. Cook it to brown, cook it to slightly pink, pass it through a warm room, whatever.
• Mix your cornbread batter. Use a larger bowl than you think is necessary.
• Drain your meat, rinse it, and add it into your cornbread batter.
• Stir it until the meat is evenly distributed.
• Forget that there's meat in the batter and cook it however you normally do.
• Take your cornbread out of the oven and cut it, or remove it from the muffin tin cups, or whatever you're supposed to do for whatever you cooked it in.

Et voila, lazy southern-style meatbread. Yes, I know it's bare as fuck; it's a basic recipe that you can embellish to suit your tastes. You can season the meat however you like as you cook it, and you can add extra things like cheese or caramellized onions to the batter with the meat, but consider how the flavor of your seasoning/additions will work in cornbread before you add just whatever. Or don't consider it. I'm a wiki article, not a chef.

F*CK im so hungry now...

(stomache growling) I'm gonna go make some meatbread.
