Directions
- 1Brown the ground beef in a skillet, breaking it up until loose and browned. Drain any excess liquid.
- 2Add fresh green seasoning, favorite spices (onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, meat seasoning, all-purpose seasoning), and soy sauce to the ground beef. Mix well.
- 3Add a bit of water, cover, and cook for 15 to 20 minutes.
- 4While the meat cooks, prepare the thickener by grinding Jamaican water crackers (or cornstarch/breadcrumb) finely in a blender.
- 5Stir the ground crackers into the meat mixture and cook for an additional 10 to 15 minutes until thick.
- 6Puree the meat mixture a little bit with a blender to achieve a smoother texture. Allow the meat filling to cool completely.
- 7For the dough, combine yeast, sugar, and warm milk. Allow the yeast to proof.
- 8Add eggs, melted butter, flour, salt, and baking powder to the yeast mixture. Mix until a soft dough is achieved.
- 9Remove the dough from the mixing bowl, bring it together, place it in a greased bowl, cover, and let it double in size (approximately 2 hours).
- 10Once doubled in size, remove the air from the dough.
- 11Cut out desired dough sizes and shapes.
- 12Roll out the dough with a rolling pin.
- 13Use a pot cover or a large soup bowl to cut out rounds of dough.
- 14Add the cold meat filling to the center of each dough round.
- 15Fold the dough over the filling to create the meatloaf shape, ensuring the dough and filling are cold for best results.
- 16Poke some holes in the top of the meatloaf for venting.
- 17Cover and allow the meatloaf to proof for another 20 minutes.
- 18Bake in a preheated oven at 300 degrees for about 20 minutes.
- 19After baking, brush the meatloaf with some melted butter.
