Meatloaf

We had seen a show on Food Network about meatloaf and they had some interesting pointers that I never thought about before:

1 - Saute your vegetables before mixing into the raw meat. That way the flavor of the veggies really comes through.

2 - Rather than cooking the loaf in a meatloaf pan (where it will be cooking in all the fat that runs out of the meat), form the loaf and cook on a cookie sheet.

I'll be trying that out today and we'll see how it goes. Because we're meeting up with the Mommies this afternoon, I'm cooking it now and will warm it just before dinner. Gotta love the loaf.
