Meatloaf -- contains only quality stuff and no refuse, scraps, or leftovers.

The meatloaf is made from pork, egg, breadcrumbs, carrots, tomatoes, parsley, onion, lemon juice, little bit bacon (no nitrite or sodium phosphate), spices and herbs. The loaf gets a thin coat of sour cream 20 minutes before it's done for a better crust. The potatoes are baked together with the meatloaf and they absorb some of the juices. They are additionally flavored with rosemary, thyme, pepper and a little salt, and they have been brushed with butter. The sauce is a cream sauce with spices and herbs. The zucchini has been steamed.

Sometimes a zucchini is just a zucchini, Pablo.

Meatloaf makes me gag. Banned in this house.

You haven't tried my meatloaf. I also make a great cheeseburger pie.

Pablo is just being difficult. He can't help it!

I've never had meatloaf that was made with only pork. Usually it's a combination of beef, pork and veal or something like that.
There is probably nothing that has more variations than meatloaf. Everyone makes it differently.

That's the way my wife makes it as well & the only edible way to make it. It's not called leftover-loaf.

It still looks like a turd no matter how you pinch it or slice it. If we were meant to eat meatloaf, it would have been part of a steer.

Well, I don't eat any beef or veal (with very rare exceptions). It's not that I don't like beef, but I have been paranoid about BSE all my life. Even without BSE I wouldn't eat veal, because it's usually pumped full of steroids and antibiotics. Since I'm not crazy about ground turkey or ground chicken, only the poor oinker is left.

I don't follow recipes strictly, but vary ingredients all the time, depending on what have available or what I want to eat.

Them's fighting words! Be glad that I don't take on paunchy, balding, middle-aged guys with garlic breath. MWAHAHAHAHA!

Why not some gound lamb?

 

[moribundman]

The silence of the lambs frightens me.

 

[Pablo]

I actually eat meat balls with lamb and pork.

Don't even mention ground turkey or chicken or I'll heave right here and now. Oops - I just threw up a little in my mouth.

Mori why don't you buy organic meat so you won't have to worry about antibiotics and steroids? you have suppliers in your area?
