Not Your Everyday Meat Loaf

Meat loaf is a comfort food for many and this would go really well with mashed potatoes and maybe a small side salad.

 

  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1/2 cup Heinz ketchup
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1 cup panko bread crumbs
  • 1/4 cup grated white onion
  • 1 lb. lean ground beef

Topping

  • 1/4 cup thick teriyaki sauce
  • grated Asiago cheese

Heat oven to 350 degrees. In a bowl, combine all the meat loaf ingredients and bake for 40 minutes. Remove from the oven and spread the teriyaki sauce over the top. Sprinkle with the cheese and return to the oven for a further 20 minutes or until thoroughly cooked.

Be sure to let it rest for about 8-10 minutes before serving.

 

Puffed Cauliflower with Cheese

Serves 4-6

  • 1 medium cauliflower
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 2 tbsp. butter for brushing dish
  • 1 cup light cream
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup fine bread crumbs
  • panko crumbs for topping
  • 3 eggs, separated
  • 1 1/2 cups grated cheddar cheese

Preparation: Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Cut cauliflower into florets, cook until tender and drain. Heat butter in saucepan, add flour, stir over heat for 2 minutes, remove from heat. Add cream gradually, stirring with a whisk until smooth. Add salt and pepper and 2/3 of the crumbs. Stir in beaten egg yolks, grated cheese and lastly, the cauliflower, being careful not to break up.

Beat egg whites until stiff and carefully fold into the mixture. Pour into greased baking dish and sprinkle remaining crumbs over the top, baking for about 30 minutes until risen and golden in colour.

I have used this recipeĀ over the years and never get tired of it. It works well with almost any meal but exceptionally good with Rack of Lamb.
