2 bay leaves
1 tbsp salt
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
4 tbsp butter
3/4 cup onion, finely chopped
1/2 cup celery rib, 1/2 inch pieces
1/2 cup green bell peppers, chopped
1/2 cup scallions, finely sliced
6 cloves garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 tbsp tabasco
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup evaporated milk
1/2 cup catsup
1 1/2 pounds ground beef
1/2 pound ground pork
2 eggs yolks slightly wisked
1 cup bread crumbs (approximately)
Combine the first 7 ingredients (seasoning mix) in a small bowl and set aside. melt the butter in a 1 quart sauce pan over medium heat. Add the onions, celery, bell peppers, scallions, garlic, tabasco, Worcestershire, and seasoning mix.
Sauté until mixture starts sticking, about 6 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and allow mixture to cool to room temperature.
Place the beef and pork in an ungreased 13 by 9 inch baking pan. Add the eggs, the cooked vegetable mixture (removing bay leaves), and the bread crumbs. Mix by hand until thoroughly combined.
In the center of the pan, shape the mixture into a loaf that is 1.5 inches high, 6 inches wide, and 12 inches long. bake uncovered at 350°F for 25 minutes, then raise to 400°F for the final 35 minutes or until done.
Serve immediately as is or serve with Very Hot Cajun sauce for Beef
