Blythe's Corned Beef Meatloaf

I love this girl

Blythe and I are up here. Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas to you. We're just talking about food

Talking about food, and Blythe is fixing to share with us a corned beef meatloaf

Yes, yes. Have y'all ever heard of such? Me neither. Well, we're going to do it together

Me neither. It's going to be fine. Okay. I have a Jewish friend, and this was for their holiday party

Uh-huh. So they asked me if I would come up with something. I said, well, yeah, why not

So we're going to do this. So you have cooked the corned beef, Mike

We have cooked the corned beef. Now, if you don't want to cook the corned beef, don't. Buy it

When you watch shows on a network show

you've got 22 minutes, and there's no time for goof-ups or anything

You better pray it goes well. You've got to make sure it's just right. But that's not always the case

It doesn't always turn out perfect. And if it doesn't turn out perfect here

I try my best to fix it. You're facing the same things I'm doing

and sometimes it doesn't turn out always right. So how do we fix it

I put sauce over it. What do you do? Just so you kind of know where I'm headed with this

I want it to be like a Reuben meatloaf. So what I did is I did rye bread, toasted rye bread

And then we're going to use a little bit of caramelized onions, which I love

I love them. I think they're so delicious. I do too. And then sauerkraut to kind of give you the same feeling of a Reuben

but my way, you know, it's like the Blythe Beck meatloaf. And I love it

Well, thank you. I love it, too. And I'm going to use a little bit of that juice to kind of help me bind it

And then you want to crack some eggs for me? Yes, and your eggs are going to help bind it, right? Yes, ma'am

I'm just breaking them individually to make sure they're all right. It's going to be delicious

It is going to be. OK, will you season this up for me? Yes. A little salt and pepper

Tell me what you want. I would like salt and pepper. Now, that corned beef might be a little salty already, right

I tasted it. I still think it needs a little bit more. OK. So we season every level

You just tell me when. By the way, you know my salt and pepper thing that you gave me

I gave you this. Yeah, my mom tried to steal it. Do y'all have one of these for salt and pepper things

I traveled with it. I wrapped it up. I just love these little things. It the coolest thing ever All right you ready You were going to Yes what you want me to do Well I put a little bit of butter in my pan Like I kind of Oh okay Whoo I kind of rub the butter

It feels like this one has been sprayed, but I'll do some more

I just wanted to see you violate that butter, that's all, in my dish here. Okay

But that is what you want me to do, right? You do. Most of me am, it is, because I want this to kind of cook together. No

Just put that anywhere. It's good. This is for my Jewish friends for their celebration

All right, now, listen, I don't know a lot about Jewish customs

I have Jewish friends, but I don't know a lot about the food customs

You're going to have to leave the pork at home. So some has to be blessed, right? No, that's kosher cooking

That's when they do just kosher. And kosher is when things have to be blessed by a rabbi

No, you can't do dairy with protein, different cutting boards, different plates

So here we go. We got this going. All right, now, you're going to pack that in? Yes

But cooking just food for Hanukkah is not kosher. So you just have to make sure that, you know, no pork fat

No pork. No pork. You don't have to remember that. OK, that's the rule

No pork. No pork. But lots of things like pastramis and corned beefs

and sauerkraut. I'm going to stick this in the oven, 350, for about 45 minutes

While we're laying that cook, we're going to make our own Thousand Island. So you want to start with some ketchup

I know you know how to make that. Yes, ketchup and mayonnaise. Yes. And then a little bit of mayonnaise

Well, let's not lie. Come on. Tell me how much. Well, I like things pink. There you go

I noticed you had on a lot of pink bracelets. It says, Blythe Begg's Big Pink Bus Tour

I have this vision that I wanted to go in people's homes. I want to get on a big pink bus, and I want to go in their homes

and I want to see their grandma's recipes, the food that they make, and make it with them

Because... I've always wanted to do the same thing. Come with me. Come with me. But I wanted to do it in Italy, in the countryside

Well, I want to go everywhere. And knock on women's doors and say, could you please let me come in and eat

That's how women tell their stories, through food. That's right. And no matter what we look like

Is this pink enough? Yes, of course. Yeah. We're going to make your dream come true, honey. Yeah

Well, my mom, my mom made these bracelets, and she says every time you look at them

envision yourself on the bus with these women telling their stories. I want to know everyone's story through food

because that's all we got. What a wonderful, wonderful dream. Thank you

It what keeps me up there It gonna make me cry A little bit of sour cream Well Blythe Thank you I I gonna talk to Gordon and we gonna try to help him come through Well I appreciate that very much It what keeps me up at night

It's part of my mission for total world culinary domination. Blythe, Bax, pink

Wait, let me see if I can say it all. Give me one of those bracelets, so I can remember it

That's all it needs is a bracelet. Oh, my God! That's kind of a huge culinary moment for me

so thank you so much. Oh! I hope no one wanted to celebrate Hanukkah

because I'm in tears. Where would I have been if no one had helped me? Well, still making great food, though

You know, thank you. And I just love seeing other women. It's how we tell our stories

Absolutely. Every story I've gotten has something to do with the food. It has to be, because that's what binds us

No matter what you look like. That is delicious, girl. We're going to make a whole stack of this

Can you fry me two eggs? Yes. Okay. I had a feeling you might be able to. Okay

So you fry the eggs, and we're going to put this together. But how do you want the eggs

I want them, like, well, sunny side up. Okay. Well, how do you like the eggs

I can do it. I can do it. I can do it. Do you have an aversion to sunny side up eggs? Yes

Well, what's your aversion? Maybe I need to be... No, no, no. I just... And you sprayed it

You didn't butter it? Well, that's just for starters. Oh, okay. I was just making sure

Do we have a lid? for what? That would be great. How are you going to do it

Well, I just, I don't know how I'm going to do it, but I'm just going to do it

I have to do things as they start coming. While you fry the egg, I'm going to butter some bread

Okay. I'm going to slather some bread. Okay, you want to know what my biggest culinary pet peeves is

Thank you, darling, that's perfect. When you don't get the butter all the way around the toast

I hate that! I hate that too! I make Nathan toast in the morning, and I slather that stuff

Yes. I hope our mothers weren't watching that, because that sounded offensive. So you're going to fry some eggs

Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. I'm going to Paula Deen Fry and Egg School. Is that your egg dance

That's my cooking dance. That's pretty sexy, lady. Pretty awesome. Thank you. OK

Not going to put a whole bunch. I'm going to do a little trick, maybe, I hope

There is the essence of Paula Deen. Her name on one hand and butter on the top

I love it. It's awesome. It is, y'all. It really is. It's perfect

I'm gonna just take that and do that. There you go. I needed just a wee little bit more And while you do that I gonna start And you can turn your back when I do this one so you don have to look What are you doing I don know I just going to try

something, Gordy. Just going to try a little something, something. What do you think

is going to happen? Well, I don't know. I just, I do have an aversion

to sunny-side up eggs. Yeah, you don't like the runny stuff at the top

It's going to make me say it. Bly. What? That's incredible. Okay, so here's

the meatloaf done, right? It came right out. And look, a loaf. A loaf

It's not enough just to make a beautiful meatloaf. We're going to make a little stack out of it

So the bread. And then we're going to take a little bit of mashed potatoes

I love this girl. Oh my gosh, you sit there and be good. Okay

Ooh, your eggs are gorgeous. Oh, who's a clever girl? Did you kind of semi-poach them, Paula

Is that what you did with the water? Yeah. She did. She poached them. They're gorgeous. I did not know you could do that

Look at that. Ooh! Oh, boy. Happy Hanukkah to us. Yeah. Look at this

Does it get? Show, show now. Oh, my god. And you can see the onions and the sauerkraut

So I'm going to stick this right on top. Oh, it tastes like rye bread

I can taste the rye in this, y'all. Like Reuben. OK, you ready for your eggs? Yes

And I saw you season them, so that's beautiful. I did. I just put salt

I didn't put any pepper coat. I didn't know. I don't like pepper on white things

That's a damn fine-looking egg, my friend. That's a fine-looking egg, Amy. That's a fine-looking egg, Ms. Dean

And then right on top, we're going to just put a little bit of our Thousand Island drizzle

Shut the hell up. And here is a fabulous Hanukkah present for all of your Jewish friends

Look, you and I can work magic even without pork fat. Look at that. Yeah. Hey, you eat

I'll do this. I'll taste this one. Look at that, y'all. Yeah

I know! We're such ladies, Paula

Yes, I know, and I like us. I like us, too. I might love us

I think I love us, too. Yeah
