Since there's so much swapping of meatloaves here right now, and since we just made one, here's our favourite (from Gourmet, September 1994).
Recepe note: "Our editors found this to be a slightly soft, crumbly meat loaf when sliced warm. After chilling overnight, the meat loaf was easier to slice and made great sandwiches."
2 lb. ground chuck
1 lb. ground pork
1 onion, chopped (about 1 cup)
1 small green pepper, chopped (about 3/4 cup) (we like more)
1 28- to 32-oz can (398 mL for the Canadians) whole tomatoes, chopped coarse and drained
1 cup yellow cornmeal
2 large eggs
a 16-oz can (224 mL) cream-style corn
1 tsp dried sage, crumbled (we like more)
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp salt, or to taste
Preheat oven to 350F.
In a large bowl combine all ingredients. Divide mixture between 2 loaf pans, packing it well. Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until a meat thermometer registers 160F.
Cool loaves in pans on racks 20 minutes before slicing. (We usually can't wait, but be prepared for it to crumble a lot.)
Each loaf serves 4 to 6.
(For anyone who does carbo counting, 1 loaf is 106 g carbo.)
