Old-Fashioned Meatloaf



I didn't really grow up with meatloaf. Apparently it's a popular comfort food in America, but the only popular ground beef dish in my house is bourek. Nonetheless, the first time I tasted it at my aunt's house in Algeria years ago, I knew I had to try it out myself someday. Today was that day.

Upon searching for a meatloaf recipe, I discovered that there are endless variations of meatloaf, each with their own combination of meat, vegetables, spices and glazes. I decided to go with Paula Deen's Old Fashioned Meatloaf and I'm pleased to say that I probably won't ever try any other variation of meatloaf because this, right here, is perfection. 


It's also the only way you can get me to eat peppers. I hate peppers. But they gave the meatloaf such an amazing flavor, not to mention an amazing aroma when it was cooking. (Or I guess this would be considered baking). The beef was very tender and moist, and the oats gave it a healthy touch. Not to mention, it was so easy to throw together.

Simple, delicious, and nutritious. I give it five stars.

    MashAllah, another outstanding post. I wish you'd mention the 'family context' for each dish, as you have elsewhere. Otherwise, this is just more awesome!
