If you’ve been sitting around just waiting for someone to invent Poutine Meat Loaf, your wish just came true.

Poutine Meatloaf

After the success of my Poutine Burgers a few weeks ago….

Delicious Poutine Burgers.

….I thought I’d try making a meatloaf version, complete with crispy potato crust. Check it out.

Poutine Meat Loaf

1 pound ground beef

1 pound ground pork

2 cups diced cheese curds

8 cloves roasted garlic

1 small onion, grated

1/2 cup buttermilk

1 cup of your favourite bread crumbs (I used sourdough)

2 eggs

1/2 tsp each salt and pepper

3 sprigs of fresh basil (when chopped, approx. 3 tbsp)

2 russet potatoes, peeled and sliced thinly on a mandoline

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Grease your large casserole dish and layer potatoes on the bottom
• Mix remaining ingredients and put on top of potatoes
• Bake 1 hour or until internal temperature reaches 150 degrees
• Strain out fat and flip out onto a parchment lined cookie sheet
• Roast under the broiler, potato side up until browned. Approx. 5 minutes
• Remove from oven and rest 15 minutes, covered with foil.
• Use 4 tbsp beef fat for the gravy. Add 2 tbsp flour and make a roux. Mix in 2 cups of beef stock, and season with salt/pepper.
• Slice and serve with gravy

If you’re Irish, you can stop here. Mmm, potatoes.

Make a dent in the top to it doesn’t bubble up
