Directions

1

Three pounds of uncooked round of beef minced up, some very fat ham, and a large slice of bread; season with onions, thyme, parsley, ground cloves, salt and pepper, and one egg ; mix all well and form into a large ball bound around with strips of cloth to keep it in shape. These can be removed before dishing the beef. Put in an oven with a little water and slices of bacon, or a spoonful of lard ; cook slowly, baste often. When taken up make the gravy of browned flour. Grate on bread-crumbs before taking off the fire.
