Meatloaf with Green Mashed Pea-tatoes
You can use ground beef or ground turkey, or you can get creative like I have been and use ground venison or ground elk. My husband is a hunter and believe me, anything that adds flavor and disguises game meat, I'm all for.
Preheat oven to 350.
This recipe we'll go with the traditional meat of choice: ground beef. To a large bowl, add bread crumbs and milk, catsup (or chili sauce to give it a kick), egg, parsley, chopped carrots, onion and celery. Add salt and pepper to season (you can also add some italian seasonings) and mix well. With hands, gently mix in ground beef. Don't over mix or it gets tough. Dump contents into a loaf pan and place in preheated oven to cook for about an hour. It will shrink up a little bit when its done.
Peel potatoes and place in large stock pot. Cover with water, add salt and bring to a boil. Cook until fork tender. In a separate container, or in the microwave, cook frozen peas until soft. Place cooked peas into blender with milk and 1 clove garlic. Blend until smooth and has a pea-soup consistency. Drain potatoes and mash with the pea mixture. Season to taste. Add butter, if desired.
You can serve with fresh corn on the cob, canned corn, or other country vegetable of choice. Goes really well with biscuits too.
