"Cat" Meat Loaf for Michael's Birthday
By Gabriel on Sunday, February 17th, 2008
Michael was always threatening to make our beloved cats (Stanley and Stella) into meatloaf. For his birthday, Kristin made him some cat-shaped meatloafs out of bison meat and they were delicious.
You could call this a “LOL loaf”
Kristin’s LOL Loaf Recipe
- 2 pounds lean ground beef (or bison)
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- 1/2 cup soft bread crumbs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 tsp Worchestershire sauce
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
- 1/4 tsp dried leaf thyme, crumbled (or fresh)
- 1/4 tsp dried leaf rosemary, crumbled (or fresh)
- 1/3 cup white wine
- 3 slices bacon
Preparation:
Cut bacon into inch-long pieces and brown slowly over low heat. Blot excess bacon grease using paper towels on a plate. Mix ground beef (or bison), bacon, salt, pepper, eggs, bread crumbs, milk, Worchestershire, wine, onion, thyme, and rosemary. Pack into lightly greased loaf pan. Bake at 350º F for 1 hour. Garnish with fresh rosemary for tail, whiskers, and onion slices for the eyes with cloves in the center. Chop a fresh carrot into triangle-shaped ear pieces.
Serves 6-8 people as part of a dinner.
Note, people sensitive to cat as a meatloaf jokes should probably stay away from this recipe. Also note: no cats were harmed in the making of this dish.
