Yep, I'm experimenting again while DW is still layed up in the hospital. This experiment was to make a meat loaf that was like Shepard's Pie in flavor, but was made like a pate, or terrine. It came out pretty good, but needs tweeking.
Ingredients:
1 lb. 70/30 ground beef
2 carrots, small dice
1 medium sized russet potato, grated
2 tsp. minced garlic
1/4 cup finely diced onion
1/4 cup baby frozen peas
1 large egg
1/4 cup Panko bread bread crumbs
1 tsp. salt
1 tbs. ground, black pepper
1 tsp. ground sage
1/2 cup milk
Preheat oven to 350' F.
Combine all ingredients in a large bowl until thoroughly mixed. Grease a bread loaf pan. Place the forcemeat into the pan, taking care to press into the corners and eliminate air pockets.
Lightly salt the top and place into the oven. Bake for about 45 minutes. Check the center of the loaf with a thermometer and remove when the temperature reads 160' F.
You can top this loaf with ketchup, steak sauce, or you favorite barbecue sauce. I didn't top mine with anything and it was good. I think this loaf would make a great sandwich with good, whole grain bread, and something like Miracle Whip, or better yet, serve as an open faced sandwich with a rich beef gravy.
You may, or may not like the idea. But I was just in an experimenting mood. I added a touch too much salt to mine, which overpowered the more delicate flavors I was hoping to achieve. It was still pretty good though.
