But, when it comes to dinnertime on a snowy weekend evening, the best supper around is a warm and savory meatloaf. A few months back, there was an Everyday with Rachael Ray issue filled with meatloaf recipes. It has since been misplaced, but I decided to try to come up with my own recipe inspired by those published flavor combinations. Last night we enjoyed a meatloaf with grated pear and dried cranberries, topped with more cranberries, goat cheese, and chopped walnuts. The recipe was great and I think that more Saturdays at home will be reserved for developing meatloaves with twists.
Here's what you'll need...
For the meatloaf mix:
1 lb ground beef
1 sweet onion diced
2 eggs
1 cup breadcrumbs
1/4 cup dried cranberries
1/4 cup goat cheese
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1 tablespoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons parsley
For the crust:
1/4 cup finely chopped walnuts
1/4 cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup goat cheese
2 tablespoons parsley
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
Let's get started...
1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
2. Grease a loaf pan (8x4x2.5 inches); set aside. Wash your hands and remove jewelry.
4. Press the meatloaf mix into the loaf pan.
