Yes, I just quotes A Christmas Story. Hey, Christmas in July is quickly approaching, no?
For some odd reason I was craving meatloaf today. Maybe it was the craving for comfort food. Maybe I needed to protein. Maybe I needed the deliciousness!
No, this isn’t your Mama’s meatloaf!
I found the inspiration here. Mine kind of turned out to be a layered veggie/meat stack because the filling was just spilling out! Inside the meatloaf was spinach, onions, garlic, Italian bread crumbs, Worcestershire sauce, egg, ketchup and roasted red peppers.
I actually roasted the pepper on the grill myself. What a great decision! It was so stinking good. I’m definitely going to do this more often.
Believe it or not, meatloaf was once my favorite food. Every year on our birthday my mom has us pick our favorite meal and mine was always meatloaf and cheesecake as my birthday cake. So maybe I’m just converting back to my roots.
This bad boy was juicy, flavorful and deeeelish!
I also made some Freakishly Fantastic Faux-Fried Zucchini.
