Meatloaf - Monday Munchies

Meatloaf. I hated it growing up...I mean, HATED it. Well, not anymore! The choices for great recipes today are endless. And could there be an easier party food? You can make it ahead of time, freeze it, double the recipe for large groups, slap it on the table buffet-style, and VIOLA! Party entree!










Birthday Meatloaf Cake - for those who really want to take meatloaf to the extreme.


And - if you are really feeling crazy - you can listen to a little Paradise by the Dashboard Lights by (who else?) Meatloaf while you cook. What is your favorite meatloaf recipe? Share it with us. We'd love to try it.

Funny... I have to agree that I was not a big fan of meatloaf growing up, but M and I both LOVE it now. What's funny is that our favorite meatloaf is Alton Brown's recipe you've posted (it's by FAR the best EVER) and I'm making it tomorrow, as a matter of fact. What a timely post! :)

In that case, I'll be making it tomorrow also! The Maple Brown Sugar recipe really appeals to me, too. Must be my sweet tooth...

So I made our fav Alton Brown meatloaf yesteray, as promised, and it never fails to please our healthy appetites. Did you make it as well? We had mashed potatoes & a salad on the side, but I was wondering... what is your favorite side dishes for meatloaf? I've heard mac n cheese, but haven't ever done that. We have leftovers, so I'm hoping to pair it w/ something different.

I actually ended up making the Maple Brown Sugar recipe with venison (and some pork) this weekend. I highly recommend it!!!
