Meat pie

Meatloaf. To make a meat pie can take the remains of a dish you have at home or you prepared meat with broth. But you can also do as in this recipe and start from scratch using a bit of minced meat (ground beef).

The result is similar and use ground beef gives you the advantage of not have to wait to have leftovers of other recipes for meatloaf.

Ingredients to make Meatloaf (serves 4):

    
600 grams of minced meat (you can use only beef or pork mixed with)
    
750 g of potato
    
2 large carrots (about 200 grams total)
    
1 large onion (about 300 grams)
    
2 large garlic cloves
    
1/2 cup red wine (125 ml)
    
2 cups beef broth (500 ml)
    
6 tablespoons tomato sauce (about 100 grams total)
    
3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (about 50 ounces total)
    
50 grams of unsalted butter
    
5 tablespoons olive oil (about 50 ml)
    
water
    
salt and black pepper
Recipe for making Meatloaf (serves 4):

    
To prepare the mashed potatoes put to heat 2 liters of water with a teaspoon of salt and cook the potatoes. When the potatoes are cooked, peel them and make the puree. Then just add the Parmesan cheese, butter, a pinch of black pepper and mix well.
    
Now prepare the vegetables for meat. Peel the garlic and chop finely. Peel the onion and carrot. Now grate the onion and carrot with the help of a grater.
    
Put in a large skillet heat oil over high heat. When hot add the onion, carrot and garlic. Leave over medium high heat until the vegetables take some color.
    
Then fire up the ground beef and add half teaspoon salt. When they begin to brown add the wine and let reduce (up to almost disappear). Then add the beef broth and tomato sauce. Leave uncovered over medium heat until reduced broth. The meat should be left with a very thick and creamy sauce (but not be free liquid). When ready test of salt and if needed add a little more.
    
Set the oven to 200 degrees centigrade (above and below) and the grill on. Place the meat in a source suitable for the oven and cover the meat with the mashed potatoes we have prepared.
    
Put in the oven and leave until the surface of the mashed potatoes are golden brown (about 20 minutes). And presto, you have your meat loaf prepared. Outside the kitchen and eat!!

  1. If you do not have beef broth can dissolve half a pill of beef broth in a pint of water. In this case you will have to watch the salt stock cubes because concetradas provide enough flavor and salt to the recipe.

    You have to control you drop on the salt because the Parmesan adds a pinch of salt and if the soup is too salty the final set may be too "rich". It is best to start with a little salt and adjust the end.

    To make good mashed potatoes is best to cook the potatoes with skin, but if you hurry you can make a fast peeling potatoes mashed potatoes and cutting them into pieces the same size. Thus the potato is cooked first and then not have to wait for the nerve to peel it. The flavor of the puree will vary a little, but as on this occasion is baked mashed and mixed with other ingredients so you do not notice the difference;)

  2. As I mentioned at the beginning this recipe comes in handy to take advantage when we have too much meat from another meal. If you choose this option (instead of using minced meat) have to be aware that depending on the recipe of which serves meat (soup, stew, soup ....) the cake flavor will change a lot.

    For this reason if you have leftovers to adapt the recipe for meatloaf. Sometimes you have to remove some ingredients (because the meat has the original recipe, such as wine) and sometimes you just have to add the mashed potatoes on top, bake and will list the recipe :)

    Hope you like the recipe and watch on the table with this dish. Soon we will have more recipes. A greeting cooks.
