Minced meat cutlets in the oven

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to bake minced meat cutlets in the oven? Prepare your food. Grind the meat yourself or use ready-made minced meat, preferably equal parts pork and beef. Cutlets made exclusively from beef will turn out dry, and from pork - fatty.

2. STEP 2

   

   Peel the onions and finely chop with a knife. Or grate it on a coarse grater, punch it in a chopper, and grind it together with the meat through a meat grinder.

3. STEP 3

   

   Wash the potatoes, peel and grate on a medium grater. Do not squeeze the juice out of the potatoes - the starch contained in the potatoes will make the minced meat more plastic and sticky. Adding potatoes will make the cutlets more juicy and filling. For the same purpose, bread is added to the minced meat. Soak a couple of pieces of stale white bread in milk so that it swells, then mash it with a spoon into a homogeneous mass.

4. STEP 4

   

   Place chopped onions, a clove of garlic passed through a press and grated potatoes into a bowl with minced meat. Place the bread and milk there too. Add salt and ground black pepper to taste.

5. STEP 5

   

   Mix the mixture well. It is believed that meat loves hands, so it is better to mix the minced meat with your hands until smooth. The minced meat for the cutlets should be juicy and slightly moist; if the milk does not provide enough moisture, you can add a little water. A couple of tablespoons will be enough.

6. STEP 6

   

   With wet hands, form cutlets into any shape. I made them round, but you can make them oval. Roll them in flour or breadcrumbs.

7. STEP 7

   

   Grease a baking dish with vegetable oil. Place cutlet preparations on it. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Place the form with cutlets in it. First, you can cover it with foil, bake for about 20 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for another 10 minutes. The cutlets should be well browned, but they should not dry out. Serve the cutlets with a side dish or fresh vegetables. Bon appetit!

The minced meat cutlets turned out perfect in the oven. I made the minced meat myself from pork and chicken thigh and breast fillets. I really liked the idea of ​​replacing the loaf with grated potatoes, especially since there was neither a loaf nor milk in the house today, but potatoes are almost never used. Thanks to the potatoes, the cutlets turned out juicy and very tasty. Lined a baking sheet with parchment, greased it with oil and laid out the cutlets. For me, cooking in the oven is my favorite pastime, the oven works, I relax. And you don’t have to stand at the stove, turn something over all the time, and then also wash the stove. And then I threw away the paper and everything was clean, just a song. And the cutlets turn out almost dietary. In general, beauty and nothing more. All that remains is to enjoy the properly and deliciously prepared dish! I recommend the recipe, enjoy cooking! Our gratitude to the author!

I prepared minced meat cutlets in the oven according to this recipe. I used home-bought minced pork and chicken. I grated onions, garlic, potatoes and mixed them with minced meat. I soaked the loaf in milk, cut off the crust, and also added it to the minced meat. The only spice I added was salt. From the resulting mass I formed cutlets with wet hands, rolled them in flour and baked them in the oven for half an hour. This is a very simple and quick recipe. The cutlets turned out tasty, juicy, golden brown and healthy. They are not greasy, not fried, but very aromatic and appetizing. Served with mashed potatoes for dinner. Everyone was very pleased. Thank you to the author for such delicious cutlets)

The minced meat cutlets turned out to be very tasty. I haven’t tried making them in the oven before, I always just fried them, but it turned out in vain)) They even get a crust if you get the hang of it. And there is less fat, because the oil is not absorbed from frying. Very good!
