Today I gave myself a bit of a break. Yes, had to hustle out of the house this morning for another appointment with the baby and yes, I had to grocery shop again. So I kept the menu very simple today. I made meat loaf. Every home cooks quick and economical meal.
There must be a thousand variations of meat loaf. Meat loaf with bread filler, bread crumbs, crackers, soups, eggs etc. I currently use a very detailed recipe for my version of a smooth moist meat loaf which has a secret ingredient that ensures that the loaf comes out moist (gelatin). If I do say so myself, it's fantastic. So I had to try Dean & DeLuca version which they call the Perfect Soft and Moist Meat Loaf.
The best thing about D & D's Meat Loaf was that it didn't take long to put together and it didn't call for any outrageous ingredients. It was an effortless recipe. My 5 year old loves my sweet sticky loaf so this would be a good test for the D & D version.
So I put a slice of the loaf in front of my son and husband. They ate quietly and contently which is rare, until I heard the true results from my son "Hmmmmmm this is good Mama" I thought it was very good. It was moist with mild sophisticated flavors which brought out the beefy taste of the meat loaf.
D & D did it again. The recipe was great.

Looks good! What did you serve it with?? Will this D&D recipe replace your gelatin meatloaf as the new go-to recipe? My favourite is Ina Garten's turkey meatloaf recipe. It's fantastic!
Meat loaf is definitely a comfort food and prepared often at our place. My recipe? Ancient family secret!!
That being said, this D&D might be worth a try.
