Russian Stuffed Meatloaf


The only meatloaf i could eat prior to this one was my mamma's. One of my russian interpreters invited me to dinner one night and she served this one. It was so good i immediately had her translate the recipe. I've tried it here in the u.s. And it's just as good. Makes excellent meatloaf sandwiches!!

Steps


Melt the butter in a small skillet over medium heat.
Add the onion and saut until lightly colored , about 12 minutes.
Meanwhile , soak the bread in the milk for 10 minutes.
Squeeze the bread to remove any excess milk and crumble into a large bowl.
Discard the milk.
Add the beef to the bread along with the onions with the butter used to cook them in , eggs , ice water , sour cream , and salt and pepper.
Knead until thoroughly blended.
Set the meatloaf mixture aside.
In a second bowl , combine the hard cooked eggs , scallions , and melted butter.
Season lightly with salt and pepper and mix.
Preheat the oven to 375f line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
Spread the meatloaf mixture out on a large piece of waxed paper into a 12x10-inch rectangle.
Spread the stuffing over the meat mixture , leaving a 1 inch border on all sides.
Roll up like a jelly roll , starting on one long side.
Peel back the waxed paper as you roll.
Place the roll , seam side down , on the prepared bak.
