1. Combine beef, bread crumbs, eggs, Worcestershire sauce, milk and salt in a large bowl; set aside.
|
2. Prepare both packages of pie-crust mix as label directs; knead 2 minutes, working in flour.
|
3. Rollout 2/3 of pastry to fit into bottom and sides of a greased 9 by 5 by 3-inch loaf pan, slightly overlapping at the rim.
|
4. Spoon in half of reserved meat mixture; top with hard-cooked eggs. Cover with remaining meat mixture; pat smooth.
|
5. Rollout remaining pastry to fit top of pan; place on meat. Trim, turn under and flute edges. Cut out a small circle at the center of the pastry.
|
6. Using pastry trimmings cut out leaves for decoration; moisten bottoms of pieces and gently arrange on pastry.
|
7. Brush pastry with egg yolk mixed with 1 tablespoon water if desired. Bake in preheated 350° oven 2 hours.
|
8. Chill thoroughly. Gently run a knife around the top edge of pastry to loosen slightly; unmold and slice.
