Paul Prudhomme's Cajun Meat Loaf image

I've never been a fan of meat loaf. After all, its a loaf of meat with ketchup on it...or so I thought. My friend made this for me last night and it was so good! The recipe is from Paul Prudhomme (of K-Paul's, New Orleans). Warning: this is very spicy and if you're not used to eating "cajun" type foods, you might want to back off on the cayenne & hot sauce just a bit.

2 whole bay leaves
1 tablespoon salt

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
3/4 cup finely chopped onion
1/2 cup finely chopped celery
1/2 cup finely chopped green bell pepper

2 teaspoons minced garlic

1/2 cup evaporated milk
1/2 cup catsup
1 1/2 lbs ground beef
1/2 lb ground pork

  • Combine the seasoning mix ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.
  • Melt the butter in a 1-quart saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions, celery, bell peppers, green onions, garlic, Tabasco, Worcestershire and seasoning mix.

  • Add the eggs, cooked vegetable mixture (cooled) and the bread crumbs. Mix by hand until thoroughly combined.
  • In the center of the pan, shape the mixture into a loaf that is about 1 1/2 inches high, 6 inches wide and 12 inches long.

I would not recommend this recipe. The meatloaf was bland and the glaze was runny.

I thought this recipe was just okay. The meatloaf was a bit dry and the glaze was too sweet for my taste.

This meatloaf was a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved it. I will probably make it again, but I will use less cayenne pepper next time.
