Finnish Meat Loaf




Source of Recipe


the web


List of Ingredients




4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter
1 cup chopped mushrooms
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 1/2 pounds ground beef
1/2 pound ground pork
1/2 pound ground veal
1/2 pound ground ham
1/4 cup minced parsley
Freshly ground pepper to taste
1 cup grated Gruyere cheese
1/2 cup heavy cream or milk
Sour cream, optional


Recipe



Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Saute chopped mushrooms and onion in the butter over medium heat until the onion is soft, about 5 minutes. Add the cooked mixture to the remaining ingredients, reserving 1/4 cup of the cheese for the top. Mix together and press into a 9- by 5-inch loaf pan. Sprinkle the top with reserved cheese.

Bake meatloaf for an hour. Let rest for about 10 minutes, slice and serve with a dollop of sour cream.

Times testing notes: For the ground ham, we had the butcher grind ham chunks that we found packaged in the meat case. The flavor of this meatloaf was subtle and sophisticated and it was delicious hot or cold.
