German meatloaf (Falscher Hase or Hackbraten in German) is a traditional German pork and beef meatloaf bound with boiled eggs, a real hearty comfort food. After WW II, falscher Hase rising to prominence as meat was still scarce but the housewives wanted to give the family a special treat, so they wrapped the ground meat (usually beef and pork) with boiled eggs and flavoured the meatloaf with parsley, mustard, and paprika. I have left out the hard-boiled eggs and bacon in this recipe.
Serve them with Sauerkraut, German bread dumplings or mashed potatoes and sour cream based sauce.

- Thoroughly mix ground meats, onion, bread crumbs, cold water, and eggs. Preheat the oven to 200C7400F.
- Season the mixture with salt, paprika, mustard, and parsley. Blend ingredients thoroughly and shape into a loaf.
- Place the loaf in a baking pan and bake in a preheated oven for about 45 minutes. While meat is baking, gradually pour hot beef broth over the top of the meatloaf and basting occasionally. Serve with German bread dumplings.

Wow, this looks really juicy yummy good! I don't take beef but this is juz so tempting!
I've always wanted to make the meatloaf with the eggs in the middle. This looks delicious :)
hv made meatloaf once b4, i probably put too much balsamic vinegar in it. it didnt work really well.
with this special recipe, i think i gotta try again.
thx for sharing!
Yum! That looks so delicious! I'd love to eat it on top of steamed rice with all that wonderful gravy.
That's an excellent meatloaf, love the recipe and can't wait to try! My grandma used to make a meatloaf (or rather a meat roll) with an omelette inside, then we ate it sliced & cold with mayo.

One of my favorites! This is a delicious version! The best part is the leftover sandwich the next day!
This would be the perfect meal for a chilly autumn evening!

I love this version! Meatloaf is such a versatile dish. Thanks for the bit of history too!

Wish I'm a guest in your house right now. The meatloaf looks so succulent & goooodddddd!! The broth poured over it makes this a winner as whenever I see meatloaf, it is always the dry version.
Hmm, time to give our meat patties a tweak.
I always make my meat loaf in a pan in gas fire.
I have never done the baked version;
This looks so good, love the sauce around it too.

It must taste delicious!! We do something similar in Spain, we call it "rollo de carne", "Meat roll".

Thank you, all my dear friends and readers, for your kind comments. :-)
@Nora: you can use just ground pork or mixed with some ground chicken.
This sounds fantastic Angie, love the idea of this version.
Angie, you meat loaf looks very beautiful!! ^^
My host mother in Hungary always made something like this, but with minced pork and minced turkey. She even put boiled eggs inside so when you slice the meat loaf, you can see the cross section of the boiled eggs.
I'm so ignorant...I always thought meatloaf was a purely American thing! D'oh!
We love meatloaf here. Nice straightforward ingredients here. Adding this to my collection of meatloaf recipes as this sounds GOOD!
This is my type of comfort food! Looks and sounds amazing.
I am totally making this!!! Great dish! Thanks, Angie.
I can just smell this, it looks so delicious!
Meatloaf sounds great for fall. Thanks for the inspiration!
What temperature should the oven be pre-heated to?

I made this recipe last night doubling the recipe except the salt. It was absolutely delicious and my husband that spent 5 1/2 yrs in Germany in the US Army thought it tasted like we were in Germany. He loved it, both hot and cold. Thank you for sharing this fabulous recipe. Deserves a 5+++ star.
@Bgableman I am so happy to hear that your husband enjoyed it! Thank you so much for the feedback!
