I talk about food a lot, and read about food a lot, but I don't actually do that much cooking. I hope to change that, and I'm going to start with that Nigella Lawson meatloaf recipe linked to your left.
One substitution I know I'll be making ahead of time is prosciutto for bacon, since I already have some prosciutto at home, and don't generally buy bacon.
I'll let you know how it goes!
Edited to report:
Hmm. It came out a little dry - I probably could have taken it out of the oven a good 10 minutes before I did. I might also cut down slightly the amount of beef I used. The combination of prosciutto over applesauce was really excellent.
Overall? Meh. My dad's meat loaf is fantastic. I'd rather have his.

Posted by: rappy at November 27, 2003 10:01 AMDo you think omitting the bacon made it drier? Maybe bacon drippings help keep it moist?
My grandmother has a wonderful, very non-traditional meatloaf recipe (it's 1/2 turkey, 1/2 beef), so I'm less inclined to try other recipies.
Posted by: Ka Ching at November 27, 2003 03:31 PMThe prosciutto had loads of fat in it. I'm also very fat-phobic, so I poured almost all of it out right away, rather than letting it rest for a bit.

I made the chocolate bread last night. Turned out amazing.
