Pate Chinois is similar to the British recipe Shepherd's Pie, but it's from the Quebec region of Canada. Pate Chinois translates to 'Chinese Pie', though it's not completely certain why it adopted that title. Some claim that it's because Chinese cooks introduced the recipe during the building of the railroads in North America...

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 lb lean ground beef
1/2 lb ground veal
1/2 lb ground pork
2 small onions, chopped
15 oz can creamed corn (or cream of corn)
15 oz can whole kernel corn
5 large potatoes, peeled
salt and pepper, to taste
1/2 c milk (approximately, for mashing)
3 Tbsp butter

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • 2. In a skillet, cook the beef, veal and pork together until no pink remains, about 6 to 8 minutes. Drain; set aside.
  • 3. In a large pot with water, boil potatoes until soft, about 15 to 20 minutes. Drain, then mash potatoes with salt, pepper, milk, and butter. Set aside.
  • 4. While potatoes are cooking, place cooked meats in an even layer at the bottom of a 9-inch baking dish (with at least 2 inch high sides). Spread creamed and kernel corn over the meat layer.
