Meatloaf is one of my favorite dinners. It's a dish of ground meat usually mixed with other ingredients then baked.
I'm vegetarian, but I make a meatloaf for my husband with ground meat, veggies and put an Italian sausage in the middle. He says it's delicious!
Well usually it's made from beef, lamp, pork, or veal... but I bet you could make some kind of a bean or tofu loaf.
I've made veggie nut roasts before, which are quite good. They aren't the same for a meat eater tho'. Where did meatloaf originate from, do you know?
It is a traditionally German, Scandinavian, and Belgian dish.
Didn't realize it was European in origin. Has it been adapted since coming over here?
It actually has it's origins in scrapple which is the nastiest thing I've ever tasted that was served by German-Americans in PA since Colonial times.
I've heard of scrapple - it sounds revolting, but Philadelphia folks seem to love it. They love cheese steak too, so go figure, lol.
