help needed!!!! meatloaf recipe

[CreamPuff63]

When I was in high school we had to make a meat loaf in the Food & Nutrition class (cooking) . It was so really quite bland that I have never wanted to make one since.

Yes, my DD made one too and the best part of it was the BBQ sauce topping which made me think they should have had thin layers of meat then topping until the tin was full.  Might have tasted better.  Maybe this is what turned me off meatloaf. I didn't think I had tried one but your posting bought it back to me (that was 23 years ago when she would have made it).

LOL my kids LOVE Meatloaf with BBQ sauce (it's a WW recipe). They also like the varoma meatloaf. I make the mushroom sauce to go with it or else a chunky tomato one out of what ever I have in the fridge.

Lots of ideas - how about Asian based sauces with soy/rice wine/chilli,  Quirky Jo's tomato, the gingery tomato with Jane Lawson's yoshoku meatballs??

Thanks for all the great ideas!

Yes, the recipe looks confusing.  But it was one of the first things I tried as I'd heard it was good and wanted to use the Varoma.  I didn't bother "stuffing" or "wrapping" my meatloaf.  So I just made the mince mixture and shaped it into a meatloaf and popped it in the dish.  Easy peasy!  And it was delicious.

So the wrapping with foil is just for the shape, and then you remove the foil completely to cook it?  Because the recipe only says to remove the foil from the bottom of the meatloaf....

I'm hoping to cook it for dinner tonight, I'm just  over the wrapping.

It might be too late but when I made this I didn't cook it with foil.  It was yummy, I do think you need the proscuitto to wrap it though because it doesn't look very appealing without!
