SPIRAL MEATLOAF
Can you stand another meatloaf recipe? I saw this being made on a tv show -- but was vacuuming and didn't catch all the ingredients. So, I adapted my own (rather, my mother's) recipe and came up with this. My husband will not eat meatloaf any other way!

Tips:
- Choose the right ground meat: For a moist and flavorful meatloaf, use a combination of ground beef and ground pork. You can also use all ground beef, but it will be less moist.
- Season your meatloaf well: Use a variety of herbs and spices to flavor your meatloaf. Some good options include garlic, onion, paprika, thyme, and rosemary.
- Don't overmix the meatloaf: Overmixing the meatloaf can make it tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
- Shape the meatloaf into a spiral: To make a spiral meatloaf, start by forming the meatloaf into a long, thin loaf. Then, use a knife to cut a spiral groove down the center of the loaf. Fill the groove with your favorite fillings, such as cheese, bacon, or vegetables.
- Bake the meatloaf at a moderate temperature: Bake the meatloaf at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about an hour, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the center of the loaf reads 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the meatloaf rest before slicing: Let the meatloaf rest for about 10 minutes before slicing. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the loaf and make it easier to slice.
Conclusion:
Spiral meatloaf is a delicious and impressive dish that is perfect for any occasion. By following these tips, you can make a spiral meatloaf that is moist, flavorful, and sure to please everyone at your table.
