Allow meat to cool, taste and adjust seasonings if necessary. Line a 12-cup terrine mold with thinly sliced bacon. Fill three-quarters of the terrine with the liver mixture and cover with the bacon. Pour approximately 1-inch of water into a roasting pan and set it on the stove over high heat. Place the terrine into the pan and bring water to a boil. Transfer roasting pan to oven and cook terrine for 1 ½ hours. The liver pâté is cooked when a meat thermometer registers 160 degrees. Cover the terrine with foil and place a board, cut to fit, inside the rim of the mold. Remember when adjusting the pâté seasoning, the mixture must taste somewhat over-seasoned as the pâtés are served cold.
