Mock Fillet Mignon

A Moderate Life

Mock Fillet Mignon
1 lb lean ground beef ($1.50)
1/2 lb ground pork (.50)
1/3 cup chili sauce (.50)
1/4 tsp dry mustard
Dash of pepper and paprika
1 small onion (1/2 cup) finely diced
6 strips bacon (about 1/4 pound) (.25) (bought at Krogers $10 for 10)
2 lb Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and quartered ($1.50)
1/4 cup hot milk
1/2 tsp salt

In a large bowl, combine meat, chili sauce, mustard, pepper, paprika and onion, mixing well. Shape into 6 pucks about 2 inches tall. Wrap strip of bacon around each; fasten with toothpick. Set aside. Cook potatoes in large pot of boiling water until soft enough to mash, about 20 minutes. Beat potatoes with hot milk and salt. Form into six flat patties big enough to hold the mock filets; place on baking sheet. Top with meat.

Bake 10 minutes in 450F oven; reduce to 350F and bake 30 minutes, until bacon is crisp and meat is cooked through.
