Hash Baked in a Mould

Ingredients

Directions

The book gives no oven temperature. The 350°F (175°C) in the steps was added when the recipe was transcribed, as a starting point.

  1. Prepare the meat as you would for Corn-beef Hash.

  2. Butter a 1-quart mold.

  3. Pack the hash into the mold.

  4. Bake in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 1 hour.

  5. Turn it out and serve.

Recipe from a historical cookbook (Internet Archive).

Transcribed from a scanned cookbook and modernised for today's kitchens. Where the book gave no heat or time, or said "a moderate oven", the temperatures and times here may be modern equivalents rather than the book's own figures.
