Halal Meatloaf!

This week we're keeping it simple, homestyle, midwestern favorite, the meatloaf! This meal served with vegetables, preferably any of the Sno Pac veggies that we sell here at midamarhalal.com, and mashed potatoes of any kind. I personally really like chive and onion mashed potatoes, but this time I thought I'd try garlic and herb mashed potatoes. Now, the mashed potato recipe isn't included in this post, however, if you want that recipe head over to this recipe and scroll down past step 7 to find my grandmother's mashed potato recipe. If you do look to that post, you'll see that the main flavoring ingredient is cream cheese, and so long as you use a cream cheese that is savory and/or not fruit based, you should be good. No promises on garden vegetable though.

Anyway, back to the meatloaf. This meal is really as simple as it seems, through some seasonings into some ground beef, bake it, prep your sides, and serve. It's a great, "I'm tired after work and really don't want to cook but, eating out doesn't sound good," kind of food. Total cook time is probably around an hour for the whole thing, depending on how you cook everything. Not only that, but if you use 2 lbs of ground beef like I did then you'll have plenty extra. In fact, usually I end up with some leftovers here at the office when I cook but this one was completely gone. So it's gotta be pretty good, right?
