This recipe is one that my grandmother used to play around with that I love to play around with as well! Sometimes it works well with mashed potatoes with dill, peas, etc.-lots of possibilities! This recipe originated from an old 1966 Woman's Day Encyclopedia. Leftovers are great cold in a sandwich or alone. Hope you like it! Try it with turkey too! It tastes just as great! I love it! Ingredients:
2 lbs lean ground beef |
2 teaspoons salt |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
2 eggs |
1/2 cup soft breadcrumbs (or panko) |
1 teaspoon herbs (fresh or dried, basil, marjoram, rosemary, sage, parsley or dill, etc.) |
4 slices bacon or 4 slices salt pork |
Directions:
1. Mix all ingredients except bacon together thoroughly, using your hands or an electric mixer.
2. Pack into a lightly greased loaf pan, or form into a loaf on a baking sheet.
3. Top with bacon (optional; if you choose not to, do not forget to baste occasionally with water, bouillon, or equal parts melted butter and wine).
4. Bake in preheated oven at 350°F for an hour or until the loaf shrinks from the sides of the pan (you can also use a toothpick, but remember that doesn't always work).
5. Serve with or without a sauce such as mushrooms, tomato, or sour cream.
6. Enjoy! =).
