Meat loaf gets dressed up for company with this savory recipe. The ground meat is well seasoned with curry powder, allspice, green onion and thyme. And the potato coating adds a special touch. —Wendy Hoskin Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Ingredients

1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
2 teaspoons olive oil
4-1/2 teaspoons curry powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1/2 teaspoon pepper
3/4 cup canola oil
2 green onions, thinly sliced
1-1/2 teaspoons minced fresh thyme
2 eggs, lightly beaten
3/4 cup soft bread crumbs
1-1/2 pounds ground beef
1/2 pound ground veal
POTATO TOPPING:
1-1/2 pounds red potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup vegetable broth
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Directions

In a small skillet, saute onion and garlic in oil until tender. Stir in the seasonings. Add broth; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes. Stir in green onions and thyme. Transfer to a large bowl; cool to room temperature.
Whisk in eggs; stir in bread crumbs. Crumble beef and veal over mixture and mix well. Shape into a loaf; place in an ungreased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, place potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with water; add salt. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cook, uncovered, for 15-20 minutes or until tender. Drain, reserving 1/4 cup cooking liquid. Mash potatoes with the broth, oil, pepper and reserved cooking liquid.
Using a large star tip, pipe mashed potatoes onto meat loaf. Bake 45 minutes longer or until a meat thermometer reads 160° and meat is no longer pink. Yield: 8 servings.

Make sure you follow the ingredient sizes. I didn't use all the meat but forgot to cut back on the curry, so my meatloaf was over seasoned. It was still delicious and I will definitely make it again, but I'll be sure to follow the recipe closer.
