Meatloaf is the punchline of lots of "bad food" jokes, but it can be delicious. This week we show our method for a really delicious meatloaf. Some people glaze their meatloaf, and some people wrap it in bacon. We did both! The real secret to keeping everything moist is that panade that we show at the beginning (some breadcrumbs soaked in cream).
Of course, this one is super easy to customize by changing the spice mix in the meat, by changing the meat mixture, and by changing the ingredients in the glaze. If you want a sweeter glaze, you can add more honey, brown sugar, molasses, maple syrup, ketchup, fruit jams and jellies, or fruit juice. You can make it spicy by adding any number of hot sauces!
Apologies in advance if my delivery isn't so enthusiastic in this video, I'm super stressed right now. Our landlord is taking the house we've been renting back for personal use, and has been dicking me around with paperwork on top of us trying to find a new place to live and trying to plan for moving. I haven't been sleeping well because of it.
I really liked it. My North Carolina farm boy husband did not like it at all. If it's other than straight up meat & potatoes, he is not interested.
We have a second home in North Carolina that he goes to quite often. That is when I put my culinary skills to test. My sister comes over & we have quite the feast.
