  1. This is my go to meat loaf recipe. I tweak it a lot depending on what I have on hand. I always put loads of grated veggies in.
     
  2. Forgot to rate with the stars!!!
     
  3. Lots of veggies and a touch of curry set this meatloaf apart. There isn't much starch in the mix to absorb the liquid from all that celery and onion, so we ended up pouring off a lot of rich broth that cries out to be made into something further -- but also washed away a lot of the nice sauce. Slices better after it sits a while; fresh out of the oven you'll be able to spoon it like a casserole. After all is said, we loved this meatloaf, actually. Made for OZ/NZ swap October 2008.
     
  4. I made this for 123 hit wonders, and it was very good. I do recommend adding the instant coffee to your sauce, as it cuts the sweetness down, and the sauce takes on a barbecue sauce sort of flavor. This did produce a lot of grease, so if you have a grease-draining meatloaf pan (I don't) it would be useful. I just drained the grease off intermittently and then patted the meatloaf with paper towels when it was done. The reason I didn't give this 5 stars is that the cooking time, and/or temperature didn't seem right to me. I had to cook it for twice as long as the recipe said, and thought it might've helped to have the oven temp be higher. All in all though, a great, and different kind of meatloaf. Thanks Jewelies!
     
  5. Yummy! the curry, mustard and bacon in this lifts it out of the ordinary and brings wonderful tastes together. The vegetables were an added bonus. It was good to pour off all the fat that always comes out of meatloaf at the halfway stage and to bring in the sauce to stop it drying out, but I was a little disapointed that the sauce stayed quite thin as I expected it to thicken a bit and make a nice saucy topping. I also had to point out to my DH that the red bits of meat inside was actually cooked bacon and not raw meatloaf .Please see my Rating System: 4 lovely stars for a recipe that tastes excellent, the only thing that stopped me from going to 5 stars was that the meat was a little too soft for our preferences and that the sauce stayed very liquid indeed. I think I will experiment to get a firmer meatloaf while keeping the main flavours becuase they were enjoyed. Thanks!
