Hellooooo. . . remember me? I haven’t forgotten you! Let’s get reacquainted. I’m the girl who loves a good meatloaf. This one is kind of special because it has hard-boiled eggs baked into it.
In case you didn’t know – I moved house. I’ve been getting acquainted with my new stove. It sucks. I burnt two meatloaves. Turns out any temperature above 350 sends it skyrocketing up to 450 degrees and higher. Anything below 350 turns it completely off.
So. . . I had to turn it off and then back on every few minutes to try and regulate it. It took over an hour to cook a meatloaf and it was still black on the bottom. Fun times.
Did I eat it anyway? You betcha.
The meatloaf is my go-to recipe with egg, ketchup, seasoned bread crumbs, worcestershire, onion, bell pepper and seasonings. I like to cover the top with more ketchup – it caramelizes and turns into a glaze that is one of my favorite parts.
Half the meatloaf mix is formed into a flat loaf, the eggs are set on top and the remaining meatloaf is piled on top and patted into shape. It looks pretty when you slice it and kind of fancy too.
I wished for bacon to drape over the top when I was making it. . . That is the only thing that could possibly make it better.
Now you know what to do with those Easter eggs hanging out in your fridge.
