About the dish

This classic Bavarian and Austrian sandwich consists of a thick slice of leberkäse —a product consisting of ground meat that is baked into a meatloaf—which is served inside a halved bread roll ( semmel ). Typically, the sandwich will also include a generous slather of sweet mustard. In Bavaria, leberkässemmel is usually served in beer gardens, while the Austrian version is typically prepared and sold at street kiosks.
