Here is recipe that I found in our local newspaper and it sounded very interesting - This standard meat loaf gets a lift from cubes of blue cheese placed through the centre of the meat, Bacon slices are placed diagonally across the loaf giving it even more flavor for a delicious autumn meal, Ingredients:
250 g ground pork |
250 g ground beef |
3 tablespoons fresh breadcrumbs |
1 egg |
1 small onion, chopped |
1 bunch sage, chopped |
2 teaspoons coarse grain mustard |
1 (175 g) package blue cheese |
6 slices bacon |
salt and pepper |
red currant jelly, for serving |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
2. Combine the meat with the breadcrumbs, egg, chopped onion, sage, mustard, salt and pepper and mix well.
3. For the mixture into an oblong shape. (Lightly dust your hands with flour to do this), then break apart down the center.
4. Cut half the cheese into small squares and place them down the center of the meat mixrture and then re-form the loaf into the oblong shape, enveloping the cheese.
5. Cut up remaining cheese and lay over top of loaf, then lay the bacon slices diagonally across the loaf so the surface is covered.
6. Place in an ovenproof dish and cook for 15 minutes, reduce oven temperature to 330F, and continue cooking for a further 40 minutes until golden on the outside.
7. Serve hot with seasonal vegetables and red currrant jelly. Garnish with sage and red currants, if desired.
