Post your meatloaf recipes...

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

I LOVE LOVE LOVE meatloaf!

I don't know exact measurements because I wing it, but usually it's:
ground bison
pork sausage
an egg
some rolled oats
chopped onions
minced garlic
minced parsley
tomato sauce
salt
pepper

bake

OMG EAT.

mmmm...sounds deeeelicious.

approximately equal amounts of bison and sausage?

Yes, about equal, and also sometimes I do 1 part ground lamb and 1 part pork sausage to 2 parts bison, and it would work equally well I think with lean ground beef but the market up the street always has bison for cheap so that's why I use that.

the idea of mixing in various meats sounds actually better than just your average ground chuck or round...I must admit.

Sub ground turkey for bison.  Ground beef (cheapest) for pork. 3 parts turkey to 1 part ground beef. Add a hint of ground red pepper or more to taste.  I've used rolled oats, breadcrumbs, cracker crumbs, matzo.  Whatever you got to act as a filler/binder for the meat.  Cover with bacon slices and tomato sauce or catsup your choice, I use tomato paste in my meatloaf and a splash of red wine, then cover with bacon and catsup.  It's all about preferences.

I like this idea best. Do you think a pound will cover it?

OK, the bacon idea adds a whole new dimension to it... what if the pan was lined in bacon, and then bacon laid out on top so the result was bacon-WRAPPED meatloaf? I think I want to try this. I have a 2-piece meatloaf pan with a perforated bottom and a drip tray, so the fat would drain off.

[Triple Zero]

the pate i made was kind of like that, wrapped in bacon

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

That's exactly what I was visualizing!

[LMNO]

Holy crap.  I think I just came in my pants.


Also, the perforated drip pan would be vitally neccessary.

I usually bake mine on my broiler pan and cover it with foil.  I would suggest that the more bacon used, the less ground beef in proportion to the ground turkey since the ground beef is strictly for enough fat to mix with the binder to hold the loaf together.

I wonder how emu would go? I've been researching emu sources lately, I want to fill my freezer with it. It's surprisingly cheap.

[Richter]

I'd guess emu would be similar to ostrich: tasty, but v/ dry. 
Ground in a loaf, especialy with a bit of pork, I imagine this would be fantastic

Recipie wise I only know the traditional method, which is to burry it in a pit of hot stones clambake style, but leave the head sticking out.  When steam starts coming out of the mouth, it's done.

Sloppy Joes Rule.  BBQ meatloaf rules.  My MOM's meatloaf = teh suck, which is why I HATED FUCKING MEATLOAF, until I made my own.

If you like meatballs, you should LIKE meatloaf.  Period.  That's just what meatloaf is--a big, fucking ginormous MEATBALL.

My recipe is similar to IO's, just wiffout cheese.  I usually change it up with adding a dash of this that or the other that takes my whimsy.  But my meatloaf is pretty famous in this house by now.

And I HATED it growing up and wouldn't touch it with Nixon's dead dick.

Wowwwwwww I want to eat that.

I don't know how the general bumfuck America would react to us burying a big fucking bird and doing that...even for food.

I think you're supposed to kill it first.
