Made the meatloaf from the current issue last night. I hadn't made a meatloaf in a looooong time. My old standby recipe calls for quick oats instead of bread crumbs and a cup of milk. I used panko for the bread and substituted a whole egg for the whites of two eggs. I liked the cooking method where you bake the loaf on a broiler pan to let the greese drip away. I ended up doubling the recipe because the meat counter was out of about everthing when I was shopping last weekend (students are back and shopping for the new semester - always a busy weekend at the local stores. I should have known better and stayed home!) so I had to buy 1 # pkgs of the beef, pork & turkey.
There was very little grease to catch, and I liked the loaf shape better than the loaf lifted out of a pan. I didn't make the sherry mushroom sauce that is to accompany it. Served it with the cauliflower mashed (saving review for Lab's bday review) and carrots cooked in a honey, orange juice and butter. It was a nice comfort food dinner on a cold night.
