LOVE-LY MEATLOAF



When I think of meatloaf my mind is filled with images of Fall. The fresh crisp temperatures, the changing colours of the leaves, the smell of wood burning, a cup of steaming hot chocolate and the warmth and comfort of a heated home.

For the past few years I have been purchasing my red meat at various meat and country markets. One of these is Carsons Country Market just outside of Listowel Ontario. The meat from these wonderful establishments is so much more tasty and price sensitive to what is obtainable in the local supermarkets. As a friend used to say, "Try it, you will like it!"

Ingredients:
1 medium pack of lean ground beef
1 tablespoon each of - Mrs. Dash Original and Grilling Blends
1 tablespoon of ground Tandoori Masala
1 medium sweet onion - sliced and chopped
2 medium sweet potatoes / yams
2 tablespoons of Panko crumbs
Salt and pepper to taste

Process:
Slice the sweet potatoes into three sections and boil in hot water until soft
Preheat oven to 375 degrees farenheit
Grease the bottom of a casserole dish with either Pam, Olive Oil, Canola Oil or Sesame Oil 
Combine the ground beef with the onions and all the spices
Place the mixture into the casserole
Mash the sweet potato and spread on top of the beef
Cover and bake in oven for approximately 20 minutes
Remove cover, spread on the Panko crumbs and return to oven
Adjust oven dial to grill and leave until crumbs are golden brown
Remove dish from oven
Let rest for 5 minutes and serve

This dish is great with a tomato based side salad, green beans and an ice cold beer

Serves 3-4

Enjoy the Love!
