This isn’t the greatest photo of the meatloaf but by the time I got around to taking one this was all that was left. Yes. It’s that good. Our friend and ClemTuck Farm customer, Cindy, shared this early in the year. Even though we’ve had it several times we haven’t had time to post the recipe until now. It’s an easy recipe, too, one that can be adjusted to the ingredients on hand. This version uses Calabrian peppers. They come in a jar and can be found in most groceries nowadays. Bell peppers would work just fine, they’re a bit milder than we prefer is all. Also feel free to top the meatloaf with cheeses, seasoned tomato sauce or maybe a mayonnaise, hot sauce with a bit of brown sugar topping. No rules. And, like all good meatloafs, this makes dandy next day sandwiches.
