Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground veal
  • 1 (10 3/4 ounce) can cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 cup dried onion flakes
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes

Method

  • This is a quick and easy version of the original recipe for Cretons.
  • Simply place the veal into a 2-quart saucepan.
  • Add all the ingredients at one time, plus one can of water as suggested on the soup can.
  • Mix well and cook uncovered on the stovetop over a very low flame until all the liquid is absorbed and mixture is very thick in consistency; approximately 3 hours.
  • Cool slightly and pour into individual covered plastic containers and chill overnight.
  • This can be frozen for freshness and defrosted easily.
