Pretty much the BEST lunch I’ve ever had. (Meatloaf with Tomato Jam & Colcannon)

I’m sitting here still unable to really move. I ate so much at lunch. It was so incredibly delicious. Me and my friend Dave made a weak attempt at seconds but we could only eat about two bites before we passed out on my couch. There really isn’t a better way to spend a rainy fall afternoon.

Here’s how we did it:

Dave’s Meatloaf:

about  3 lbs of ground beef and pork

2 eggs

1 cup of bread crumbs

minced garlic, about two cloves

1 tbsp of  Worcestershire sauce

1/3rd cup of steak sauce

1 tsp of dry or fresh thyme

Mix all the ingredients and form a loaf and place it in a bread pan. Baste the top with steak sauce.

Bake at 400 degrees for about 45 minutes.

Tomato Jam

1 and a half cooking onions roughly chopped

Let simmer in a pot with Olive Oil (2 tbsp) and Maple Syrup (1 tbsp) splash of mango juice if you have it and a touch of hot sauce as well.

add 1 tsp of salt

Add half a peeled and chopped apple and a dash of cinnamon

Once the onions are completely soft add 4 peeled and chopped plum tomatoes

Let sit for a couple minutes then remove from the heat.

Colcannon

5 or 6 red, white or yellow potatoes (mixing is fine) chop and boil in salt water.

Once potatoes are nearly fully cooked add 1 or 2 cups of chopped kale.

When potatoes are fully cooked remove most of the water, leave a tiny bit in the pot.

Add in 1/4 cup of butter, 1 cup of sour cream, 4 green onions chopped well.

Mash until potatoes are completely smooth.

You may want to add more butter, sour cream salt or water to suit your liking.
