This is a recepie for my Motherfreaking Meatloaf.
Ingredients:
3.3 - 4.4 pounds (1.5kg - 2kg) grinded meat
Lots of bacon
Two eggs
Fresh cream
Gravy mix (or make your own)
Breadcrumbs
Half a yellow onion
One and a half carrot
One slice of fresh garlic
Mushrooms (champinjoner, champignon)
One fresh red bell pepper
Black pepper
To have on the side:
Potatoes
Gravy
Lingonberry jam, or simular
First you chop up the onions, carrot,
bell pepper, garlic and mushrooms.
Put some butter in a frying pan, a big slice of it.
Let the onions fry a little, gently, not on highest heat.
Put in the other veggies and pepper it a little after flavor.
After a while put in a cup of water and let them boil for a few minutes.
You want them surface cooked, but not all though cooked.
When the veggies are done pour them into a mesh strainer (durkslag)
så that the liquid goes away. Shake them a little bit.
Let the veggies rest for a few moments while you take care of the meat.
First you mix in two eggs into the grinded meat. Mix well, use your hands.
when the mixture is good, add some dry bread crumbs and mix again.
Take the well mixed meat and place part of it in a oven safe plate
with high edges on it.
Shape the bottom part of your loaf and then build up edges, making
a bowl like loaf shape. Put your veggies into the 'meat bowl' and cover
the veggies with the reminding meat. Don't make the lid to thin, rather have
the veggies deep than too high up.
Also remember that they compress during the cooking. I put in the double volume compared to what you see in the picture.
The meat shrinks when it cooks, pressing the veggies.
When you have covered the veggies up use your hands and make the loaf compact,
press on it to try and remove any airpockets and to smooth the surface out.
Now is the time for bacon. Lay one strip of bacon from one side of the loaf to the other,
and work your way across the loaf. When you have one layer down, switch directions and lay bacon
across the first layer, keep going this way until you're out of bacon.
Turn on the oven with a temp of 350-390 Fahrenheit (175-200 Celsius) and wait for it to become warm.
Let the meatloaf rest until then.
When the oven is warm put the meat loaf in, place it in the middle of the oven with above and under heat.
The meatloaf should be in at least one hour, preferably around one and a half - two hours.
During this time lot's of liquid will come out from it, this is normal.
Boil potatoes slowly and when those are almost done you make your gravy using the fresh cream.
When you think the meatloaf is done (don't open to look over and over, you let the heat out)
take it out and pour away all the water/liquid that have come out from it.
Take a toothed knife and cut part of the loaf open to see if it's cooked all the way through.
Keep the oven running until you're sure it's done.
Serve with the boiled potatoes, gravy and jam. Don't hold back on the gravy, it is delicious with gravy.
I shall admit...this was my first meatloaf. I feel kinda pleased about it. Didn't look up any recepies before hand, I just used my gut feeling.
