Cloudy day stove top meatloaf . . .

Well it wasn't actually a cloudy day. In fact it was a relatively warm evening. 

But, the name fit so perfectly, and I kept thinking how I could be eating this in a pub in some 

far off cold part of the world . . . 

I accompanied my sandwich with one of my most favorite of beers ever . . . 

Anderson Valley IPA. The beer is such a compliment, I suggest waiting to make these

 sandwiches until you're in the mood to open a beer and set it aside your plate, making

 this meal a complete experience . . .

Cloudy Day Stove Top Meat Loaf

Begin by sauteing until pretty tender:

2 tablespoons olive oil

3 new potatoes chopped pretty finely

Add:

2 carrots chopped very finely

1/2 red onion minced

1/2 red onion chopped into big pieces

1 sprig fresh thyme

1 tablespoon stone ground mustard

1/2 teaspoon salt, or more if you tend to like salt 

dash black pepper

Once potatoes are fully cooked and carrots are acceptable, add:

1 lb ground beef, pressed evenly across the pan. 

Cover and simmer until desired doneness. 

Serve on sandwich bun with plenty of mustard and mayonnaise. 

P.S. I actually skipped mayonnaise for myself, I am not a big fan, but others

seem to like it.
