Pâté chinois is a traditional French-Canadian dish that consists of layers of seasoned ground beef, corn, and mashed potatoes. It is a comforting and hearty meal, often served as a casserole-style dish. The ground beef is typically sautéed with onions and sometimes mixed with other ingredients like Worcestershire sauce or spices for added flavor. Corn kernels are spread over the beef layer, and then creamy mashed potatoes are spread on top to form a golden crust when baked. The combination of savory beef, sweet corn, and creamy potatoes creates a delicious and satisfying meal.
