Food testing

What!!?? Meatloaf that tastes good?

Brian and I have found it. The elusive meatloaf recipe that actually tastes good. And re heats well for left overs. You would think that with Brian's love for all things meat, he would have developed a good recipe years ago, but we didn't try meatloaf until that smooth talkin' Alton Brown beamed his recipe in our grubby little hands. (note - we wash our hands before preparing food.) We don't really change from his recipe except for a few items.

Replace the onion with Penzey's dried mince onion.
Replace the pepper with Penzey's dried red and green pepper.

We like Penzey's. They keep us in onion and bell peppers when we don't have fresh.

As for in the glaze, we use Garlic Tabasco.

And finally, instead of making a large loaf of this meatloaf, we divide it into smaller loaf pans for maximum glazing surface area and crust.

Make this with Alton's Stove top Mac-n-cheese!
