Stouffer’s Meatloaf
Now, I know it might not be much to look at, but this was really good. Decided to make it in the oven, which was a great idea in hindsight. The texture and flavor of the mashed potatoes ended up being significantly better than when microwaved(even before doctoring it up). Salt, pepper, a little butter, and a dash of garlic powder takes it up a notch. The meatloaf and gravy had a great, meaty flavor and a texture that I would expect meatloaf to have. Might not be rated as highly if I made it in the microwave, but it’s cold here today and I could use the heat from the oven. If you have the time to spare, HIGHLY recommend using your oven. Would 100% get this again. submitted by /u/Alzteran to r/frozendinners [link] [comments]

Meatloaf: Your Secret Weapon
I've never followed a recipe for meatloaf & it's truly turned into my favorite: "Anything-but-the-kitchen-sink dish." For example, last night I made meatloaf & had some leftover homemade mushroom/spinach/heavy-cream pasta sauce. A half cup went in the meatloaf & it was awesome. What is a random ingredient you swear by or something you've snuck in that would make most people recoil in alarm? submitted by /u/Successful_Giraffe88 to r/Cooking [link] [comments]

If you had two pounds of ground beef that expires today and a kid who hates meatloaf, what would you make?
I'm racking my head on this one. Wife is going to be out of pocket so something like burgers is out as it's just my kid and I. My kid hates meatloaf. I feel like we do spaghetti all the time. I could do tacos and just refrigerate the leftovers, but I then realized this community is likely full of diverse users who have very fun things they'd do with it. Don't mind going out to buy some ingredients - just need to get past this mental block for a dinner that will not result in me shaping meatballs or pressing burgers Thank you Note: I'm 250 comments in and I think I now have ideas for months, including many EASY idea.

So I smoked a meatloaf
And it was good. Took 3 hours ramping up from 250 to about 315. I froze it for a couple hours to stretch the cook and help maintain shape. All beef (and a wad of fat from my homemade bacon)...contains soffritto, a couple eggs, panko and spices. Glazed with my homemade BBQ sauce. The flavor was surprisingly briskety. submitted by /u/photocult to r/smoking [link] [comments]
