Meat cookie recipes

I've made this one for decades, and it is the one I keep going back to. More than one meat-lover has mistaken the bulgur for ground beef.

My family loved this meatloaf! I used hot Italian turkey sausage and italian breadcrumbs; also, made the sauce with red wine. The leftovers were eaten before going to bed. It's a winner.

Classic way to grill and serve a great sirloin steak. The mushroom red wine sauce had a perfect balance and was very easy to prepare. I grilled my steak in a cast iron grill pan to medium-rare and served with a stuffed tomato and a green salad.

This is a very basic beef stew. It’s easy, delicious and inexpensive to make. While there are hundreds of variations of this traditional recipe, it’s hard to improve on this version’s savory and comforting goodness.

A very simple and hearty turkey chili recipe from the west coast. Even better the next day and an excellent way to use up leftover turkey.

Beef cubes are cooked in a warm and tasty soup with the egg noodles added at the end. It's a well balanced and delicious dish.

This version of Salisbury Steaks uses dried wild mushrooms in a beefy red wine sauce. Regular mushrooms work well too. Ground round makes for a meaty steak and milk keeps them juicy.

First time I've paired pork chops with dried fruit. During braising the apricots and prunes plumped up and added a nice mellow fruitiness which paired with the tender pork perfectly.

A stove-top beef stew recipe. Nothing beats a hearty, savory beef stew that warms you up a cold day and satisfies your hunger.

We loved it and used it in the Turkey Lasagna recipe.

Accompany with a Greek-style salad sprinkled with feta cheese and olives!

Aussie style meatloaf that's packed with flavour.

So to start off with the first post, I decided to make a meal that screams of comfort food. Whilst it does take a bit of a while to get the meal done, once you take that first bite, heaven couldn’t seem closer if you were Adam trying to touch God’s finger in the “Creation of Adam” fresco created by Michaelangelo. The meal I speak of is Cottage Pie. There is much debate as to what exactly a cottage pie is and how it is different to a Shepherd’s pie...I don’t know. The dominant theory is that Sheperds pie uses lamb mince, whilst a cottage pie uses beef mince. I don’t know about you, but the term “Sheperds Pie” does not get my tastebuds going quite as well, so I prefer the term cottage pie. Besides, comparing the price of ground (mince) beef to ground lamb, a student would pick up the beef mince in a heartbeat without even so much as glancing at the lamb in the meat section. This cottage pie that I made is full of flavour, and just makes you want to cuddle up next to a fire and watch TCM movies all day either by yourself, or with a significant other. Here is the recipe:

Spicy and meaty - ideal to worm you up when there is cold outdoor.
