I like to make meatloaf lately because I get free ground beef from a friend that has one of those monthly meat box plans.

I just sweat some carrot, onion, celery, bell pepper, and garlic with some butter while soaking some white bread in milk. By the time it is cooled the bread panade is also ready and I mix it all with ground beef, salt, and white pepper.

I bake it in an upside down bowl for 45m to get the dome shape then I remove the bowl to broil and glaze at the end. Glaze is just ketchup, brown sugar, and a tiny splash of apple cider vinegar.

I vacuum bag it and freeze it for later. Later I just boil water in a kettle and put both in a Dutch oven for 5-10m for a quick reheat.

    If I called it the zuccotto meat cake it would be much more correct but also far less appetizing.

    Thanks for the tip, looking forward to trying it with a bacon crust.
