Ok, so I know this has probably been covered a thousand times. .. but I'm looking for something a little unique. . .my boyfriend likes meatloaf, but I've never really gotten my hands into it as an entree. So. . . interesting and fascinating ideas anyone? I'd rather not have to pull out something that looks like it came straight from a 1950's cookbook. I will. But I'd rather not.

Re: Meatloaf
Tue, October 20, 2009 - 11:28 PMSorry all my meatloafs look like they popped out of Betty Crockers 1950s Cleaverland.
My only suggestion that I recommend whatever you do. For binding use bread crumbs (not crackers) 1 or 2 eggs (depending on how much meat) and 1/2 heavy cream.
Things I have been experimenting with lately in meatloafs
Horseradish
all varieties of peppers
50 50 mix of meat to variety of veggies
Also been using none beef meats. A chicken pork combo.
Lamb makes lovely, and light meatloaf

Re: Meatloaf
Wed, October 21, 2009 - 8:22 AMI tried and liked this one that I found on epicurious, but I have to admit, I LOVE corn chips. Frito Love!
Blue Plate Special Meatloaf
• 6 ounces ground pork
• 6 ounces ground beef
• 1/2 cup finely crushed corn chips
• 1/2 cup thinly sliced green onions
• 1/2 cup bottled chili sauce
• 1 egg
• 1 1/4 teaspoons chili powder
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
Preparation
Combine pork, beef, corn chips, green onions, 1/4 cup chili sauce, egg, chili powder, salt and pepper in medium bowl. Mix to blend well. Divide mixture in half. Shape each half into 3/4-inch-high oval and place side by side in 8x8x2-inch baking pan. Spread remaining 1/4 cup chili sauce over meat loaves, dividing equally. (Can be prepared 2 hours ahead. Cover; refrigerate.)
Preheat oven to 450°F. Bake meat loaves uncovered until juices run clear when centers are pierced with small sharp knife, about 20 minutes. -

Sun, October 25, 2009 - 2:16 AMmy hunny use to make a meatloaf with a whole knockwurst in the middle so when you sliced it you got a round slice of sausage in it.
a friend swore by oatmeal instead of bread and his meatloaf was yummy too.
