I didn't really grow up with meatloaf.
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!
ReplyDeleteThe topping is the best part! You must at least try it!
