Meatloaf

They still make SpaghetiiO's with meatballs?!

They were tiny meatballs though......

I just realized that almost any thread is capable of metamorphosis, not just those on Your Choice. Here we have a meatloaf thread that has veered into the territory of canned meatballs and cabbage rolls, and now to the question of why there is no spaghetti served with risotto. Sometimes I have to scroll up to see what we were talking about originally.

I was discussing this thread at work and a co-worker mentioned Salisbury Steak. He was like "They're bascially individual meatloaves" but I'm not sure I agree.

Here's a recipe:

I guess it does have some meatloaf characteristics...

Have you had a haircut, NA? Or have you been abducted and subjected to experiments by aliens?

You would like Big Night, NA.

I am prohibited from speaking about alien abduction and/or Area 51.

Thanks, VinnyD. I will look for it.

Thanks for the link, NA.

I learn that Area 51 is called, inter alia, Paradise Ranch - it sounds like the sort of place former president Dubya and former prime minister Bliar might hang out.

I was going to suggest a similar recipe, but you took the words right out of my mouth

A spark of genius, billy, on a thread entitled Meatloaf.

I made the meatloaf in #28. I was not impressed. I made one serous goof--I obviously added too much lemon. It overpowered everything. The recipes I looked at all talked about "baste the loaf with the juices," but there was no juice. It was a bit dry & really needed a sauce of some sort. I suppose I'll try it again some day, with less lemon and maybe ground beef that is higher in fat. The pancetta I used was pretty fatty and I figured that would be enough, but it wasn't.

Well on your third attempt, if it works out well, then....

Two out of three ain't bad.

OK, sorry - I'll leave it there.
