MarcO Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 It is soon coming up to that happy time of year where I will horrify my vegetarian girlfriend with the scents and smells of a baking loaf pan of ground meats. I freeze it in portions for lunches, just take it to work, nuke it and slap it on some bread and there ya go.Meatloaf, friends, meatloaf: discuss. Share your inspirations, tips.

bradm Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 I freeze it in portions for lunchesOoooh...the cold meat loaf sandwich (almost as good as the cold sausage sandwich).My Mom's trick with meat loaf was to make a glaze out of (IIRC) just ketchup and dry mustard; it gave it a kind of sweet/hot feel to it. (I can't remember if the glaze was on during the whole baking cycle, though.)Aloha,Brad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alton's Traditional MeatloafAlton's Gyro Meat which can easily become a meatloaf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
